About Ron

I grew up in Pittsburgh, PA, and now live in North Carolina. I am married with two teenage daughters. Sports have always been a passion of mine, and running has been a way for me to compete in something as an adult. I have a dog that I run with almost every day. I am a NASM certified personal trainer and a certified nutrition coach, along with recently becoming a UESCA certified running coach.

Coaching Philosophy

I believe that everyone has more potential than they think, and I strive to help others to reach this potential. I have found out personally how rewarding it is to set a goal, work hard, and achieve it. I will do everything that I can to help others do the same. It doesn't matter how old you are, your fitness level, or your life circumstances, everyone can set and achieve goals. My philosophy is to get better each day. Let's do this!
