Meet the Team

  • Owner & CEO

    My name is Andrew! I am the owner and founder of Pride Fitness. I found my passion for helping others with their health and fitness while working at a Personal Training Studio after my professional football career. It was then I decided to move home and start a facility to help expand a vision I saw of building a community of people who encourage, support, and build each other up as they achieve their goals!

    Before graduating, I took a brief detour to play professional football. After my senior season, I went on to play professional football in the NFL for the St. Louis Rams. I also played professionally in the Arena Football League for the Tampa Bay Storm and Arizona Rattlers, where we won a League Championship.

    I graduated from Lindenwood University in 2015 with an undergraduate degree in Educational Studies. I was a selected as an All-Region player, one of the top 6 players in the country at my position. My name appears over 47 times in the record book, including numerous career (Receptions, Touchdowns, and Receiving Yards), Single Season, and Single Game. In 2018, I was inducted into Lindenwood’s Athletic Hall of Fame.
