Came here in 2005 to stay with my Mom for a bit…. been here ever since.

3. How long have you been a member of Finish Strong?

I think January will be 4 years.

Chris Richardson and Ashley Hoffman were both talking about it to me and how much fun it was. I took 1 class on the field and I was hooked.

5. Where did you go on vacation this summer?

Summer is a busy time for work…so looking forward to going on a cruise in February and shooting a wedding in Punta Cana in May!!

6. Do you have any pets?

I rescued Geppetto my poodle 5 years ago.

7. What is your favorite quote?

I guess it’s kinda cheesy but “Everything Happens for a Reason” is the one that sticks out to me. Everyone has their ups and downs in life…but I believe that people don’t come into our lives by chance….there is a reason for it.

8. What's your idea of a fun night out?

Going out to dinner and having a few glasses of wine with the ladies.

9. What's a favorite workout/challenge/event that you've done at FS?

I have a love/hate relationship with the hill workout but always love the special event workouts. I remember a really fun one at the stadium for the olympics and our prize was an orange.

10. What's your favorite song to workout to?

Love to workout to techno music. I love the fast pace stuff that makes me want to move.

11. Where's your favorite restaurant in Myrtle Beach?

So many really….anything from New York Prime to E Noodle.

12. What do you like most about Finish Strong?

I love the accountability and comradery. You always feel like you’re a part of something good and if I start missing classes….people start asking where I am.

13. If you had to which would you choose: 50 burpees or 100 warrior sit ups?

Definitely warrior sit ups

14. How do you relax after a long day?

Glass of wine or a walk around the neighborhood

15. Do you have any hobbies?

Luckily….my hobby is my job. I love what I do and I’m always looking for ways to be different or challenge myself.
