Why I Do Both

Here's the thing people usually ask me about first: why personal training AND insurance?

Actually, I do two things that seem unrelated to most, but are the same to me. I'm a personal trainer and I'm in insurance. I like helping people strengthen their bodies and their futures.

I've spent 18+ years building trust — first as a benefits and insurance professional working with brokers, employers, and healthcare partners across the country, and eventually as the cofounder of a fitness business, Inspire Fit & Fight, where I coached clients through real, lasting lifestyle change. Along the way, I've held roles from benefits advisor to Regional Vice President, built partner networks from the ground up, and helped thousands of people better understand their health, healthcare and financial protection.

Somewhere in all of that, I realized I wasn't doing two different jobs — I was doing the same job two different ways. One protects you physically. The other protects you financially. Both come down to the same question: what happens to you and the people who depend on you?

I'm not here to sell you something you don't need or push you into a plan that doesn't fit. I'll tell you the truth, even when it's not the easiest thing to hear because I want the same in return.
