History

 

Sports, stage, and screen have always been intrinsic in my life. My childhood was filled with individual and team athletics while growing up in California. At fifteen, I won a scholarship to study at the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco. For three years, I attended high school in the morning and would then head to the professional theater company to study method acting, voice, improvisation, and dance.

In my twenties, I worked as a commercial print and runway model. I appeared in various ads for Macy's, Planet Hollywood, and Aveda cosmetics, and walked the runways for designers such as Armani, Go Silk, and Comme des Garcons.

 

When I turned thirty, I also began work as a television actor. I have starred in various roles on shows such as Nash Bridges with Don Johnson and also filmed a variety of pilot television series projects. To this day, I remain a current and active working member of the Screen Actors Guild.

During my fashion and television years, my profile in the Health and Fitness field also rose. I appeared in work out videos and scored both national and international fitness presentations.  I was also awarded a grant to study at the University of San Francisco (USF) where I began completing my four-year degree in Exercise and Sport Science (ESS), graduating in May, 2003, with an award from both USF and from the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), the gold standard in professional fitness accreditation.

Present and Future

I am happily married, with homes and business practices in both San Diego, and San Francisco; I expect to complete my Masters Degree in Business Administration from the University of Southern California (USC) in 2014.

Combining a four year Exercise Science degree with an MBA allows me the knowledge, skills, and abilities to specialize in Sports Administration and expand my work as a consultant to a broad venue. I regularly consult for a variety of different health club organizations specializing in areas such as business strategy, profit building, staff development, marketing, and managing change in a dynamic industry.

By optimizing my work in show business with my Sports Administration background, I have hosted and produced Health and Fitness segments for different corporations. My experience with cameras combines effectively with the organizational attributes that are necessary for recruiting and managing crews for shoots and films and we have more projects slated for 2012 and 2013.

I have also not lost touch with the "hand-on" aspects of the Fitness Industry and continue to regularly train clients and teach group exercise classes in both Northern and Southern California.

My active spare time is spent exploring museums and galleries or surfing and playing volleyball at the beach with my team. Quiet quality times are spent with my spouse and family, working on my yoga, and meditating. Through embracing and continuing to refine my mind, body, and spirit, I reverently look forward to the journey of life while not forgetting the lessons of the past.
