Trainer/Staff Bio

Although I grew up dancing on a stage, I have always felt more at home boxing in the ring. My dad was a professional kickboxer and he taught me just about everything I know; however, I didn’t find my true passion for boxing and fitness until I was 20. I had no clear idea of where I was going in life, but joining Title Shelby changed all that. It didn’t take long for boxing and the gym life to become so incredibly important to me. And after countless hours in the ring, pushing myself to do one more rep, and all of life’s ups and downs my passion for Title and my members keeps growing. 

My personal mantra

It ain’t about how hard you can hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.

My training style is:

heart

My why:

Title is constantly changing my life, both as a member, and now as the Head Coach. It’s my obligation and honor to make sure it has the same effect on my members.

What gives me my fighting spirit:

Knowing that younger me would be so proud and in awe of where I am now.
