Relation to the Strength & Conditioning Industry?: High School Coach, College Coach, Professional Coach

Current Job Description: I have worked in college and in professional sports and left the business cause I got tired of continually trying to prove my self for very little money. I trained a Heisman Trophy Winner and have worked with Professional Baseball and Football Players. The fact at the end of the day is, the pay sucks and I am tired of being over qualified trying to prove my self to ego maniacs for little pay.

A recent experience with an idiot coach at the University of South Florida convinced me leaving the business was a good idea. I now make a good living in Commercial Real Estate.

Past Job Experience: Positions were held as an Athletic Trainer and/or as a Strength & Conditioning Coach with the following Organizations:

Miami-Dade Community College Kendall Campus Baseball 1993 & 1994 Seasons, Florida State University Women's Sports 1995 Season, Florida State University Football 1996 Season, University of Central Florida Football 2000 Season, Montreal Expos Player Development 2001 Season, Formula Fitness 2002 & 2003, University of South Florida Football 2011 Summer Workouts.

Before entering college in 1993, I was a Combat Infantryman for the U.S. Army and was stationed at Ft. Ord, CA. I earned my Air Assault tab and was an honor graduate for MANPADS, which is a ground to air stinger missile school for shooting down aircraft. My unit invaded Panama in 1989 and I also earned the Southeast Asia Service Medal for being in support of Operation Desert Storm.

Education: BS in Food & Nutrition emphasis in Athletic Training & a Specialization in Coaching from Florida State University, MBA in Marketing and a Graduate Certificate in Accounting from the Keller Graduate School of Management.

I once had the following certifications and did not renew them while I was out of the business for seven (7) years. I will be pursuing most of them them again:
