My family
I have a husband and two cats, Milo and Ziggy.  They're pretty good company, even without opposable thumbs...the cats, that is.
Writing
Aside from my fitness writing, I also write fiction.  I've completed three novels and hope to get published.


Personal Trainer
I am a certified personal trainer and a freelance writer with more than 13 years of exercise experience. I train clients in-home in the Chicago suburbs as well as online at Plus One Active.

I am author of the About.com Guide to Getting in Shape, co-author of The Buzz on Exercise & Fitness, and author of the e-book Guide to Become a Personal Trainer.  I have written articles for a variety of websites, magazines and other print publications.
