Why I Got Into Fitness
I started my exercise journey in middle school. My father introduced me to exercise because I wanted to improve at soccer and lose weight. After reaching that goal, I became fascinated by exercise and how it made me feel. In high school, I became a multiple-time state wrestling champion. I graduated with a 4.0 GPA and a full-ride scholarship to the University of Arizona. I began my fitness career at Bally Total Fitness and became the No. 1 training director among 400 clubs nationwide. I later started Prestige Fitness with my best friend Joe and have since helped transform thousands of lives. Every day is a great day, and I feel very blessed to call Tucson home.
My Education
I graduated from the University of Arizona in 2006 with a Bachelor of Science in Physiology and a minor in Chemistry. Go Cats! I have dedicated my career to the fitness industry.
Community Involvement
As a local business owner, I believe it is important to get involved in the community and help as much as possible. Organizations I have supported include Ronald McDonald House, Angel Charity for Children, the Tucson Museum of Art, Deltas Sorority, and the Salvation Army.
Fun Fact
I speak fluent Assyrian and beat my middle-school teacher at chess when I was 10.
