Pete Stamos - Founder, Owner PPS Performance
Back in the late 1990s, my world was dominated by sports, particularly basketball. That all changed with an injury that reshaped my outlook and what I wanted to do in the future.
Forced to change my mindset, I began to focus on my education and the career path I wanted to take. My desire to help people drove me to study Kinesiology (Human Movement) at the University of Maryland. After finishing my degree in 2004, I began my career as a personal trainer.
Over the years, I was lucky to work for a team training facility that allowed me to be exposed to thousands of different types of clients. That exposure helped me find a type of client I was passionate about and seemed to gravitate toward.
Now, after decades of working with people, I have focused my education on people who have chronic pain or limitations but still have a passion for working out and bettering themselves.
If you are that type of person and you think you could benefit from expertise, I would be happy to help you.
