Entrepreneurship
I happen to LOVE business. I love people and I love wielding the tools to help them share their voice with those who desperately need to hear it.
In 2018, I started Defiance to allow me the freedom to connect with my people – others looking to overcome health obstacles and shift back into a place of really winning at life.
After years of honing my own skills as a graphic designer, doing logo, websites, and producing print and digital assets for myself and other companies and organizations, I decided to put that experience to work in launching my company, Ox & Iron, in 2022.

TRAINING
As oft as I can make the trip from Lancaster, I train out of Webb Fitness & MMA in Sewell, NJ under the legendary Phil Maldonato, President of Joe Lewis Fighting Systems. (The man truly is a legend and a gem. If you ever get the chance to meet and train with him – D O I T ! ! !) Under Phil, I train boxing, kickboxing, and Muay Thai along with many other forms of self-defense.

SOME’O’THAT BACKSTORY
Let’s be real. I didn’t grow up as an athlete. I didn’t come up eating the best foods (however, I did enjoy plenty of Southern classics) and I didn’t grow up in fitness. I grew up on the opposite side of the tracks where sickness and disease were the norm. Obesity and severe depression were family affairs and the prospect of brighter days seemed more a fairy tale than a bankable reality. I lived as a victim of others, self and circumstances. Weighing in at over 200 pounds after having my kids and already wrestling with several chronic health problems, I knew something had to change – I needed to change.
Fast forward several years and I am now stronger and healthier in my 30’s than I ever was in my teens and 20’s and determined to roll into my 40’s even better than I came into my 30’s – a journey I’m ever eager to continue on with you. Since 2012, I’ve reversed all previous health conditions through diet and lifestyle transformations that I now couldn’t imagine parting from; I’ve gone from a 16/18 to a size 2 and have gone from hardly being able to do knee tucks off the side of my bed to the 2019 and 2021 WAKO USA National Kickboxing Championships.
2019 WAKO NATIONAL KICKBOXING CHAMPIONSHIPS
Silver on split decision. Such a great match and only my second fight! This girl could box, for sure! Beautiful hands!









I’ve had the blessing and honor of training with the some of the best in combat sports – from Joe Lewis Fighting Systems President, Phil Maldonato, to the U.S. Olympic Kickboxing Team, WAKO Team USA to several Grand Masters and World Champions across many martial arts disciplines. I count it a huge joy to be able to bring that training to my clients in a way that allows them to develop their skills while reaching their health and wellness goals.
I offer my clients a dynamic approach to training that gets results in a way that’s fun and engaging. Being that I deeply adore working one-on-one with my clients and meeting them where they’re at, I love that I now get to selectively offer my time to the right clients with whom I can enjoy the journey, helping them to lose weight but to also gain much more in terms of quality of life.
Let’s rumble. Let’s rock. Let’s roll.
Healthfully yours,
Coach LT










Had such an amazing time getting to train with the U.S. Team as they prepped for the 2019 World Championships in Bosnia. (above)
Always tons learned training with Grand Master Phil Maldonato, President of Joe Lewis Fighting Systems (below), teaching out of Washington Borough, New Jersey. Love catching up with this crew in Virginia Beach, NY, NJ, PA and wherever else I can meet up with them to learn from the best. (Okay, so the photos weren’t all meant to be cute. We were sweaty, grimy and had just finished putting in work – my favorite way to be.)
