Who is PPS Performance?

Pete Stamos - Founder, Owner PPS Performance

"PPS" is Pete Stamos

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.
