I am the founder and CEO of BLING It On Fitness. I have been involved in health and fitness for over 25 years, beginning my training and certification in 1983 with Nautilus Health Clubs, LA Fitness, and Gold’s Gym in California. Shortly thereafter, I founded an all-men’s aerobic fitness program for LA Spa and served as the aerobic fitness instructor for the Georgia College and State University Men’s baseball and tennis teams as I pursed my bachelors’ degree in Criminal Law and Public Administration.  While working for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), I found a way to combine my two passions: serving our nation’s heroes and physical fitness. That led me to establish the VA Central Office (VACO) ZUMBA® Fitness program, and I also have served as the founder and president of the VA Health and Fitness Advisory Council. I believe that motivating others is the best way to motivate myself and always brings my energetic enthusiasm to my classes in the D.C. and Maryland areas. I am also certified in Lamond Group Cycling but prefer to move my feet to the beat with hips in tow!  Come Join our Party as we BLING It On!!!!
