Meet the Tampa Strength Personal Trainers

Profile Details

• Growing up in the Tampa Bay area has given me the opportunity to be involved in the golf industry since childhood. Golf was an early childhood passion as I was introduced to the game by my father. My fathers passion and zest for the game eventually led to him moving our family to Cypress Run Golf Club in Tarpon Springs, Fl. It was here that I was able to back the golf cart out of the garage and play or hit a few balls whenever I desired.
• As my game improved, my focus was on making the East Lake High School golf team. As a freshman, I was a member of the Varsity 5 and went on to letter all 4 years on the team with a personal best and team best average of 39 for nine holes my senior year.
• In college, my time was spent working in the golf industry and on my academic studies.
• Eventually, my focus turned to fitness and human performance. I obtained my Bachelors Degree in Exercise Science from the University of Tampa and my Masters in Exercise Physiology from the University of South Florida.
• Since graduation, I have worked as a fitness director at the Tampa YMCA and Teacher/Coach at H.B. Plant High School in Tampa.
• In 2014, the Tampa Strength Academy was formed, Part of the academy’s focus is on helping golfers understand how limitations within the body can affect their golf swing. By following a corrective exercise program a golfer can expect to feel and move better thus producing a more efficient swing.
