I’ve been training people for over 40 years, beginning in 1977 at Powerhouse Gym in Highland Park. Over the decades, I’ve worked with high school athletes, college students, professionals, celebrities, and everyday people who want to improve their lives.

At 80 years old, I still lift heavy and push myself physically, showing clients what’s possible at any age. My workouts are never about just giving orders—I demonstrate the effort, resilience, and mindset that drive real transformation

For me, fitness goes beyond muscles. I focus on building confidence, mental toughness, and spirit. I teach, inspire, and help people see themselves in new and empowering ways, always striving to bring out the best in each person.

I was born and raised in Detroit, and I’ve trained countless people from my community. I understand the culture, the challenges, and the needs of this city. I’ve built a reputation for direct, personal communication that’s always positive and respectful.

After surviving serious injuries, including a car crash, I fought my way back to strength. That resilience fuels my coaching and inspires others to overcome their own setbacks. I’ve trained clients from all backgrounds, athletic levels, and ages—never limiting myself to “just elites” or “just beginners.”

I believe in treating everyone equally, whether you’re a celebrity or a regular client. Integrity, resilience, and pushing past limits are at the heart of my philosophy. My goal is to set an example—not only in strength, but also in character.
