Whitman was a wrestler at Middletown High School, and gained his passion for the strength and conditioning field throughout those years. Beginning the sport at the age of 14, he realized that being the stronger and better conditioned athlete could make up for what he lacked in experience and skill. While wrestling he suffered several injuries including a concussion, separated shoulder, as well as several ankle and knee injuries. His effort to return from these setbacks led him to pursue information on better and safer ways to prepare an athlete for competition, plus how to return to competitive form after suffering serious injuries. He now works with several post rehab clients who have gone through major procedures ranging from Achilles ruptures and ACL tears, to hip resurfacing procedures and shoulder surgeries.

He is currently certified as a United States of America Weightlifting Sport Performance Coach, and a National Strength and Conditioning Association Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist
