Born and raised in Eastern North Carolina, I spent the majority of my time involved in athletics. Baseball and football were the sports that taught me leadership, discipline, and teamwork. It was an honor and privilege to receive a baseball scholarship at Chowan University. Freshman year was the only season that I played before I transferred to East Carolina University to focus on my studies.

At East Carolina University, I graduated with a degree in sport studies. This degree ultimately landed me my first career job with The Asheville Tourists. I spent two seasons as a sales associate as I helped businesses and groups reach their needs by organizing a fun and family-friendly environment for an evening at the ballpark. My next step was to touch someone’s life on a more personal basis; therefore, becoming a certified personal trainer. The gym has always been a hobby of mine, and I have had the most enjoyment helping clients rehabilitate previous injuries. Although, I have the range to help others with various goals around the gym, as well.

I am very blessed that I was led to the mountains of Western North Carolina. Growing up near the coast, I will take the mountains over the beach any day! During my spare time, I enjoy exercising, traveling, and attending athletic events. My goal in the future is to venture out with more adrenaline activities such as skydiving, bungee jumping, or mountain bike racing.
