I’m a Program Coordinator at HCA, where I get to plan and instruct classes in the areas of music, art, and all things creative expression. I’m passionate about cultivating spaces where creativity thrives and love bringing a bit of fun and structure to every project. I’m always looking for ways to make things smoother—and a little more playful!

A Fitness Instructor at the Veterans Affairs Building 207 since early 2024, I am a surfer’s soul who earned my title “theoldestgrom” when I learned to surf in my 60s. My continued journey of sobriety and healthy living began 35 years ago. Every morning, I wake up choosing life, God, and sobriety. My days are filled with fitness and family, starting with my trusty Old English Sheepdog, Bella, and a good morning smile, kiss and hug from my lovely wife. Together, we all enjoy a morning stroll through the hills before I hit my Oldest Grom Gym for continued stretching, a treadmill, bike or row machine warmup, and a workout routine that keeps me surf-fit ready. Gratitude fills the air as I prepare for my weekly fitness classes teaching senior vets how to move, stretch, and find their groove. I hope to share my passion and joys with you.
