A typical (or not so typical) day in the work-life for you:
Teach in morning
Get my workout in afternoon
Teach evening

I set my own weekly sessions so I am able to schedule in downtime to perform administrative duties as well as rest a bit. I love having control over my schedule and flexibility in my life.

How did you get your current job in fitness and exercise? I saw a need for physical fitness education in young children and designed a program to fit that need which bring the gym to where the children are.

What skills were you born with and what skills have you learned along the way?  – Stubborn determination and a desire to help others.

– I have learned that I cannot help everyone but I can help quite a few & make a living doing it.

What advice do you have for others wanting to be just as successful and fulfilled as you?  – Believe in yourself and set up a support system of people who want to see & help you succeed. It will not be easy but keep pushing and pushing.

– If you love working children ages 2-12 I would love for you to check out my affiliate program. I train business owners to do what I do.

If you could be paid for your job with something other than a paycheck, what would it be? Grass fed beef, free range organic eggs, organic GMO free veggies, fruit & coffee.
