Family, Passion, Impact. This is what I live for, and how I went from a kid with a dream to winning a Vince Lombardi Trophy as a Super Bowl Champion for the New York Giants. After a decade in the NFL, I was already planning my next step — helping people become the best versions of themselves through the best in training, nutrition and lifestyle principles. This is when Weatherford FIT was born — and is now a rapidly growing organization that prides itself in cutting through the fluff and providing busy people with the results they’ve always dreamed of. Backed by science and inspired by a positive attitude, Weatherford FIT is here to change the face of the online fitness world. As amazing as the NFL was for me, the messages I receive from people all over the world who told me I’ve motivated and inspired them can’t be matched. The most important part of my life is being a Father to 5 beautiful children, a loving Husband and someone who is committed to giving back every single day.

I believe that people are capable of amazing things if given the opportunity to develop and grow ... with the support to help them get there. I am the best I can be when providing that support, enabling people to achieve what they want to achieve. I take pride in working with people to find how they can better themselves and their business. I provide business partnering support that identifies and understands the needs of the organisation, scopes and designs innovative and effective blended learning and development solutions and facilitates the effective delivery and evaluation of those solutions. I constantly strive to demonstrate and share my passion, energy and enthusiasm for excellence in everything they do, the by-product being increased customer satisfaction and business growth!
