Owner/Founder of Move to Inspire
Bio: “I’ve always been extremely passionate about everything I do. Parkour is no different. I first started training Parkour in October of 2008, but I was no stranger to jumping around and trying to do flips. I always found ways to outrun kids on the playground when playing tag when I was younger, and loved to do tricks on the trampoline. When I was just weeks old, I was diagnosed with the genetic disease known as Cystic Fibrosis. A life long disease that affects the lungs and pancreas. Growing up I was in the hospital frequently and had a hard time completing high school. When I was 17 I had to drop out of high school and I recieved my G.E.D. The last 5 years of my life have been dedicated to teaching, learning, and doing movement. I’ve had the opportunity to take amazing trips around the U.S. and Europe to teach, perform, compete, and train. It has turned my life around and I have never been healthier. I have many goals and hopes for Move to Inspire and I’m excited for the future of movement and what we can achieve!”
