His love of working with the body began during his study of Fine Art Sculpture as his awareness of shape and contour began to take form. During his undergrad study, as a member of the Men's Track & Field Team, a deeper understanding of anatomy, form, movement and balance started his journey into bodywork. From that love of sports he continuously trained and educated himself on the dynamics of the human body, spending 6+ years as a personal trainer before adding massage to his practice.
