Mike joined the Bodyscapes staff in January 2009, shortly after the studio opened its doors for the first time. As a former Marine with a penchant for oddball trivia and strangely timed humor, Mike is best described by his clients as part drill instructor, part circus clown. This accomplished distance runner has run a dozen marathons in nine states and is actively pursuing the “50 state club.”

Mike is certified through the International Sports Sciences Association as both a certified fitness trainer and a specialist in fitness for older adults. He holds a bachelor of arts in economics from SUNY Cortland and a master of science in guidance and counseling from the College of New Rochelle. Mike also holds a certification in lifestyle fitness coaching, bridging his academic prowess with his passion for physical fitness. He also teaches the adult personal trainer course at Western Suffolk BOCES, preparing the next generation of trainers for the industry.
