I'm funny, easygoing, a little bit odd (but hey, who isnt?) and free-spirited. I work as a personal trainer/fitness instructor and I absolutely love my job! I work with anybody who is genuinely interested in developing a health conscious lifestyle and being more physically active, but specifically, I work with physically and developmentally challenged people in the field of adaptive fitness and post rehabilitative therapy.Something interesting about me- I guess you could say that I myself am physically "challenged" because I'm a unilateral below-the-knee amputee. In other words- I'm missing my right leg just below the knee (it was amputated at the age of 5) and I'm also missing my left hand as a result of a congenital birth defect. I travel the country speaking and lecturing to various groups and medical organizations about the importance of physical activity for people with disabilities.
