Bio
My passion is working with men and women who are in recovery—whether it's for one minute or several decades—from disorders such as eating or substance use, as well as mental illnesses. I believe that there are many paths to recovery but that they all involve a renewal of body, mind and spirit. I will work with you to develop and maintain a fitness program based on the OPT model that will jibe with whatever path you have chosen to support your recovery and enjoy an active, meaningful and fulfilling life.
I have been in recovery from alcohol and drug use for more than 25 years. In addition to my certification as a personal trainer by the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM), I have completed the CCAR-based Recovery Coach training conducted by the New York State Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services, as well as the NASM Fitness Nutrition Specialist course.
I am a journalist by trade and have contributed articles and chapters about addiction and recovery to numerous publications, websites and books and am active as an advocate in the new recovery movement. I have a zeal for many other interests, thanks to my recovery. Many of them are documented on my tforbes.com website.
