Donn graduated from Mount Carmel H.S. Chicago, where he played water polo and received a football scholarship. His college career started at the University of Tulsa, Ok, where he played offensive guard. After each injury he transferred to other schools too numerous to mention. While at the University of Colorado, he succeeded in destroying both knees, shoulder and back. This started him of on a new path in order to remain functional. He transferred to University of Illinois, Chicago Circle Campus and changed his major to Corrective Therapy.
In 1970 he decided to fulfill his dream of sailing and fishing and moved to Key Largo, Fl. He ran dive boats, did sailing and yacht charters and has a Masters 200 ton Ocean Operator license. It was the desire to change that lifestyle that led him into Personal Training. Bodybuilding was the beginning of his career and he had success on the amateur level in Florida. His first personal training experience was at Ocean Reef in Key Largo . The clientele was older and had more issues. He moved away from the bodybuilding format and focused more on post rehab. This started him on his present course. Donn began spending summers in Sag Harbor in 1993 and worked at American Fitness Factory. In 2003 he moved here full time . In 2008 he had a hip replacement. While recovering he took this to another level and became certified as a Medical Exercise Specialist. In 2009 Donn had both knees replaced. Donns' clients range from 15 -87 years old.
