I have a background in health and fitness and as an athlete having played football, basketball, and baseball throughout high school in Chicago and baseball in college at the University of Memphis.

I have coached youth sports (football, basketball, baseball) for over 12 years. My passion for teaching youths the fundamentals and benefits of athletic competition will carry over at 209 Fitness.
