“You only have one body, put good in and get good out.”

Full Bio

David grew up in Glastonbury, Connecticut. David’s interest in health and wellness began at the age of 15 when he tore his ACL. As a high school athlete playing baseball and football, his experience helped him realize that we only get one body, and we must take care of it if we want to enjoy a long life.  After healing from his injury, David was back on the field and he continued to play baseball through college. His personal challenges made him want to help others overcome adversity.

After earning his degree from West Virginia Wesleyan College, David relocated to Philadephia. He trained at the Philadelphia YMCA and designed individualized programs that focused on proper technique while weight training. He also worked in a physical therapy clinic, creating exercise programs to assist with client rehabilitation. While working in physical therapy, David saw first hand how important the science of exercise is for the body’s overall function. Now, David is ready to plant his roots in Ocean City, Maryland. There is no doubt that he will fit right in–David loves watching football, particularly when the Ravens are playing!

David came to Coastal Fitness with the goal of helping other people make fitness a part of a healthy lifestyle. He loves nothing more than seeing his clients achieve their goals and find life-long health and wellness. David is ready to challenge and empower to get the results you want!
