Welcome!

The fact that you've taken the time to find your way to this site, let alone read through my story, is beyond humbling. I created this blog as an outlet to share some insights I've gained through my personal experiences around leadership, self-development, and relationships. By no means do I consider myself an expert in these areas, however what I find most fulfilling is the continuous learning that life gift's us in the vehicle of our experiences. What's even more rewarding is being able to share that journey with others.

"Tell us about yourself"

I seek to build authentic relationships as I believe positive human energy is the most powerful fuel source on the planet. It's necessary for us to become the best version of ourselves, positively impacting our work, relationships and purpose. Aside from my upbringing (Italian and Argentinian families...lots of relationship in those cultures), my life experiences in early adulthood helped me gain clarity around "what fills my bucket".

I started my career as a personal trainer at the age of 18. It's here where I found the magic of relationship building. My passion for exercise science and building the ideal workout routine to achieve (insert goal) slowly started to move down the ranks compared to my excitement around building real relationships with the clients I was working with. Learning about their unique stories and experiences became drug-like for me. It's as if I was on the Disney Cruise of humanity, soaking up external experiences and stories from the people around me. My own paradigms, perspectives and even beliefs began to evolve. I was hooked. I soon began to look at my personal training sessions as if I was the one getting the "personal training".

I then shifted this curiosity towards my peers, friends and teammates. I became curious as to who they actually were as human beings. I questioned their aspirations, behaviors, mindset, habits...even the words they would use when speaking. Not only did I get to learn more about these individuals, I noticed my personal relationship with them develop on a deeper, more meaningful level.

As I focused more on people, I noticed more and more opportunities present themselves in all aspects of my life. Not only did I become more enlightened, but I ascended in my career and even met the love of my life!

Fast forward to present day, I c0-own and operate a fitness studio in Ann Arbor MI known as Applied Fitness Solutions, leading a team of around 12 people towards a world where fitness is integrated into the healthcare continuum. My primary responsibilities are leading and helping people become the best version of themselves while building relationships in the community...talk about landing the ultimate dream job.

I also have the privilege to live this life outside of my business. My wife and I have been blessed with a healthy daughter (11 months old by the time you're reading this) who has shifted my purpose and values in life. The depth of love is indescribable and has been life altering to say the least.

Who's this for?

Anyone looking to develop as a leader in your life. Whether it be your business, community or family, I hope the perspectives I share help you as much as they've helped me in my life. Expect to consume content that centers around the abstract, soft-skills our conventional education system may have overlooked when you were growing up.
