About Me
I am unlike anyone you will ever meet. I am confident and outgoing, but prefer to spend my time with the select few people I have become very close with. I have the ability to be overwhelming and someone you can't get enough of at the same time. I can be distant and cold but have the biggest heart in the world. I am a hopeless romantic and enjoy doing all the little things for friends, family and a special someone. I am always super busy and love being busy, but can always make time for those things and people that are important to me. I am constantly learning and enjoy new experiences but tend to be set in my ways. I am oppinionated and love a good debate, but don't always handle criticism well. Often people mistake me for being snobby or stuck up but I am usually just keeping to myself. I still feel I am new to the bay area although I have been here since October of 2005. I love watching sports, in particular the Oregon Ducks. I love the game of football, while I prefer college, I can sit and watch all four Sunday pro games if I am in the mood. I am athletic and work for myself as a personal trainer or more specifically a Strength and Conditioning Specialist in Oakland, Ca. I specialize in sports specific training. I have worked with a few NFL players, an NBA player, multiple triathletes, as well as many college and highschool athletes involved in various sports. In addition to athletes I will work with anyone interested in changing the quality of their life through exercise and nutrition. I love working with kids. I am coaching cross-country and track & field in Piedmont.In addition to coaching and training....
I am currently working to get my own non-profit up and running in Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica, dedicated to the youth there. I recently was in Costa Rica, I set up a soccer program for the youth. I hope to change the lives and living conditions for the youth there through my non-profit and the work I will be doing in 3 areas, academics, athletics, and community service/developement. If you would like to know more or you are interested in coming down to volunteer... send me a message :)Currently I am looking to collect new and used soccer and surfing equipment and clothing. If you are interested in heading a drive in your area let me know!!! Here are a couple quotes that I enjoy:**********"For me, winning isn't something that happens suddenly on the field when the whistle blows and the crowds roar. Winning is something that builds physically and mentally every day that you train and every night that you dream" ~ Emmitt Smith***********Life is an opportunity, benefit from it. Life is beauty, admire it. Life is bliss, taste it. Life is a dream, realize it. Life is a challenge, meet it. Life is a duty, complete it. Life is a game, play it. Life is a promise, fulfill it. Life is sorrow, overcome it. Life is a song, sing it. Life is a struggle, accept it. Life is a tragedy, confront it. Life is an adventure, dare it. Life is luck, make it. Life is too precious, do not destroy it. Life is life, fight for it. ~Mother Teresa************************"Achievement is difficult. It requires enormous effort. Those who can work through the struggle are the ones who are going to be successful" ~ Jackie Joyner-Kersee***************"I know what I have to do, and I'm going to do whatever it takes. If I do it, I'll come out a winner, and it doesn't matter what anyone else does" ~ Florence Griffith-Joyner************"There are two mistakes one can make along the road to truth--not going all the way, and not starting"~ Buddha
