Bio:
Tom has been involved with weight training since he was 15 when he suffered a knee injury. Between physical therapy and working with a trainer at a local club, Tom developed a love for exercise and rehab. Tom pursued Athletic Training while at George Fox University, but ultimately ended up earning his degree in International Business. While in his junior year, Tom earned his first of many certifications from the National Academy of Sports Medicine and started working at the local Gold's Gym. After 2 years he moved back to Seattle where he joined the WAC. Since, he has earned two more certifications and a master's degree in human movement with a concentration in corrective exercise.

Testimonials:
"Tom is an excellent trainer. His technical knowledge and his ability to work around my injuries and adapt exercises for my golf game were a great asset. Tom has a calm demeanor and a good sense of humor, but he has the ability to push you to reach further than you think you can. He was instrumental in my Top 10 placement in the WAC's "How Fit Can You Get?" competition in which I increased my fitness test by over 400 percent and lost 11 pounds of body fat but no muscle mass. I highly recommend Tom; you will get results."
