I've spent my whole life watching illness and injury occur before me.  Raised as the son of a nurse and a surgeon, it wasn't long before I began towards the track of Medicine.  Fortunately, at the beginning of my Penn Sate acedemic career, I had the wonderful opportunity to pursue an internship at a Physical Therapy facility in northeast Philadelphia.  Soon I realized that this might be a way to combine my undying passion for physical activity with my desire to heal. 

EDUCATION DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE!  YOU CAN LEARN TO MOVE CORRECTLY, EFFICIENTLY, EFFECTIVELY WITHOUT RISKING INJURY. 

Illness, as we all know by now, is much more likely to occur if we are physically inactive.  So why is it  that while we are injured, we stop doing all physical activity?!  Think about it, doesn't it make more sense to find a way to train around our injuries, provide a better healing state for our bodies, and prevent future re-occurrence? 

During my academic career at PSU, I pursued several internships and was involved in many organizations.  In the forefront, I organized the Kinesiology Career Fair (2002 and 2003), assisted in the founding of PSU's first Wheelchair Basketball Team, assisted coaching/training of ParaOlympic and Power Team athletes, and pursued an internship in Aqua Fitness and Rehabilitation (with a focus on senior citizens.)  After graduating with a bachelors of science in Kinesiology and a minor in Spanish in 2003, I next fulfilled my Doctorate in Physical Therapy at the University of Miami (Not only one of the top 10 best programs for Physical Therapy, the weather wasn't a bad reason to choose Miami either...)  During this time, I began expanding the private fitness coaching that I had been doing for years, and developed the concept of Global Fitness LLC.  I recently graduated in May of 2007 with my DPT (Doctor of Physical Therapy degree.) 

I am very grateful to have the opportunity to share all of this great information that I have learned over the years.  And, here's the best part:  It doesn't have to be complicated and it doesn't have to be expensive!  I am here to tell you that fitness is possible, your dreams and goals are liveable, and there is a way to feel better!  Moreover, when life takes its turns, and you do get injured, there is a way to get back up onto your feet and HELP YOURSELF HEAL!
