About Me
My name is Levi Stein and I am a 32-year-old sales, marketing and public relations professional, as well as an ACE® Certified Personal Trainer based in Music City. I grew up in the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia and spent my early years playing soccer and performing music.
I spent my college years at Syracuse University after receiving a scholarship and immediately got involved with The Daily Orange, SU's esteemed student-run paper. I also spent a semester overseas in London. While in London, I worked at a record shop on the east side of town, lived in a "MTV Real World" style city flat with seven other people and got to travel all around Europe on questionable budget airlines on a broke college student budget.
I fell in love with Nashville after spending a summer here interning on the famous Music Row for a small publicity firm. I came back the following summer and subsequently moved down here after I graduated from college. The city is home to dreamers, creative-minded people and some of the most amazing musical talents in the world.
I currently spend my morning coaching fitness classes before heading to the iHeartMedia office to build strategic digital advertising campaigns for various clients in major markets like New York, Charlotte and Pittsburgh.
In my spare time, I am an avid fitness enthusiast and outdoorsman. I am also an all-around music lover, travel fanatic and I enjoy getting to meet people.
