People are often surprised when they find out that I practice Yoga. Born and raised in Key Largo and Miami. Played every organized sport I could in High School. Continued that trend playing College Football and Lacrosse at The Carnegie Mellon University while obtaining a BS in Electrical and Computer Engineering. I was the typical Fraternity/Football/Beer/Party College Kid. Came home to work with the family after graduating. Not loving the cold of Pittsburgh may have had a small part of that decision.

     In 2013, I sought out Yoga to releive stress, and have been hooked ever since. I practice a little of everything including, but not limited to Vinyasa, Ashtanga, Hatha, Gentle, Yin, Restoravtive, Aerial, and SUP. I completed my 200 hr YTT in 2015 at Key Largo Yoga under the guidance of Kathy Shirley. In 2017 I gained the qualifications for 'E-RYT 200' (Experienced Registerd Yoga Teacher), and in 2018 have began my 300 ytt with Tymi Howard.

     My biggest fear going into Yoga was the modern perception of what is yoga. How would an overweight goofy guy fit in to a class filled with a bunch of really beautiful, really flexible women doing crazy things? But my first step into the door, I saw normal people. The hardest, yet most stress relieving part of my journey was that first step. Normal people just like me, men and women, young and less young, all there committed to making a change.

     I have always believed that the mind is an incredibly powerful tool. That with Belief, Will, and Faith in your mind anything can be accomplished. I see that everyday in my journey and in those of others around me. This only further strengthens my belief in that where the mind goes, the body will follow.
