Born in Arlington, VA and as a lifelong athlete, my worldview has been through health and fitness.  I grew up playing soccer, football, basketball, competing nationally in Tae Kwon Do, training Muay Thai, Jiu Jitsu/no gi, MMA, and picked up a couple seasons of ice hockey as an adult.  I studied business management but life led me back to health and I moved to California to persue a masters in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Integrative Medicine.  The concept of bridging traditional proactive lifestyle practices with modern Western science resonated with me. 

I moved back to the DC area and started personal training at Equinox, one of the best gyms known for their extensive in house training.  I finished my first year in the top 10 nationwide out of 3,600 trainers and was promoted to a regional instructor position, responsible for onboarding all our trainers in DC, MD and VA.  In partnership with the exercise physiology team at UCLA, I taught classes in biomechanics, neuromuscular physiology, basic and advanced cardiovascular physiology, basic and advanced nutrition, program design, and business management.  After onboarding over 200 trainers over the years, I branched out to real estate, working on one of the top teams for five years, but I never could walk away from fitness.

Over the years and with more experience, I started to become more interested in proactive health, performance training, and systemic factors that affect all our lives, particularly in healthcare, education, and agriculture.  Everything started coming together.

Integrative Performance is the culmination of all these experiences.  I wanted to provide a welcoming space for all people to learn how to live well while having fun.  Integrative Performance is part modern wellness center, part elite training facility, featuring cutting edge health and fitness technology, an awesome private training studio, and an amazing team of professionals dedicated to helping the community live their best.

In time, we hope to provide education and advocacy on a larger scale and help as many people as possible live their best.
