Background

I began helping people with their health by coaching in commercial gyms in 2005. I went on to lead personal training teams at Equinox Fitness Clubs, ran multiple personal training studios, and eventually started consulting other gym owners on better serving and supporting their members. I also spent time giving back to my community which led me to being named Business Person of the Year in 2015 by the Nassau Council of Chambers of Commerce, and then served as President of my local Chamber of Commerce for 3 years.

Over my many years in fitness, I became increasingly frustrated with the lack of high-quality nutrition education in the fitness industry. I decided to pursue my Master’s in Nutrition at Long Island University, and become a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist to contribute to the solution. I currently balance working in a boutique gym and as a Clinical Dietitian at NYU Langone Hospital.

In my free time, it’s family first as a husband, boy dad, and head cook in the house. Then comes being a music lover and recreational mid-40s athlete.  

Clients can expect genuine care and attention in working with me.  Our time together will be spent on getting to know you better, identifying your biggest frustrations/problems, providing ongoing education and support,  and creating clear action steps together.  By participating and engaging in our sessions, you will gain the confidence and competence needed to make progress on your goals.
