What’s the one thing you always tell your class before starting?
That there are no mistakes, only drum solos. And we are here to let some stress out, have some fun, and maybe even meet a new friend.
What’s a non-fitness skill that makes you a stronger teacher?
Getting to know those who come to class. Asking about their day, life, why they came, etc. It truly makes people feel welcomed and step out of that comfort zone.
What’s your go-to music genre?
Anything Rock. You can usually find me singing along to any early 2000’s rock.
If you could choose your own rockstar nickname, what would it be?
Already have one, E-Rock! A friend in college always called me that and it stuck. I even used it as my Instagram handle.
