A love for fitness and sports was born in Marc
at a very early age when he played soccer as a child while living in Europe for 8 years. European soccer
is an exciting sport, and Marc had a gift. He continued with soccer through high school in America and
played professional soccer for two years after his graduation from Humboldt State. He stopped playing at
the pro level due to recurring knee injuries. Over the past fifteen years, he has participated competitively
in triathlons and adventure races. He became the “Strength and Endurance”
(STREND) national champion in 2003. In 2006, he challenged himself to run rim to rim to rim across
the Grand Canyon as a 40th birthday gift to himself—that’s from one end of the Grand Canyon, to the
other, and back! He completed the run in 18 hours, covering 14,000 feet in elevation and 42 miles. Being
outdoors and being healthy in mind, body and spirit is an important part of Marc’s life and something he loves to share
with others. He inspires every client he works with, including retirees, “soccer moms and dads,"
children in circuit classes, athletes trying out for high school and college teams and many sports and law enforcement teams.
Marc’s vast experience and expertise in the fitness industry make him uniquely qualified to help people live
their very best life.
Marc is married to the love of his life, Cara. They like to
play, hike, climb, swim, ride and run in beautiful places everywhere. They live downtown San Diego, California
with their four children, ages 16, 14, 11, and 9, and two dogs.
