I have been working in the fitness industry since 1985. I started out working part-time teaching aerobics classes. After about five years, I realized that I loved my part-time job and hated my "real" job. So I quit my job and went back to school. I graduated from temple University in 1992 with a B.S. in Exercise Science and Leadership.
