Tell us about your career:
With five years of experience in the fitness industry, I’ve built my career at Prosource Fitness Equipment around more than just designing, supplying, and maintaining fitness centers—we specialize in creating spaces that elevate communities. As a proud GCAA Leadership Lyceum graduate, Volunteer of the Year, and current Co-Chair of the NextGen Committee, I’m passionate about giving my time and energy back to an industry that’s given me so much. I was honored to be recognized as one of AANC’s “20 on the Rise,” a nod to the impact and relationships I strive to build every day.
Above all, I consider myself a relationship builder. Whether I’m helping bring a fitness vision to life or spinning tracks as a DJ at an industry event, I lead with connection, intention, and purpose. The work we get to do is personal and that’s why I love what I do!
What advice do you have for someone just starting in your field:
Number 1 thing... Don’t underestimate the power of being genuinely yourself. In this industry, people can spot someone just trying to benefit themselves. Be someone people think about as authentic, someone who listens with intention, and builds REAL relationships over time. Focus less on trying to “sell” and more on learning: ask questions, show up to events, volunteer, and get involved in your local associations. That’s where the real connections happen. The more people trust you, the more people will want to be around you. Not just for business, but for long-term partnerships and friendships that make this career fulfilling!
