Ande Ellis

Certified Trainer

I was born and raised in Tucson. I graduated from Canyon Del Oro High School. I ventured to Southern California in 1981 and was hired by Hughes Aircraft Company. I married my husband Tim, of 38 years now. We have 2 adult children, now in their 30’s with children of their own. Jonathan and his wife Kristen, have 2 girls. While Cassandra and her husband Kyle have 2 girls and a boy. So, a total of 5 grandchildren to spoil!
I returned to Tucson with Hughes Aircraft Company, in March 1990, which is now Raytheon Missile Systems. I spent 34 years in various positions in aerospace manufacturing, in supply chain field, then I finished my last 5 years in a program office, always supporting the warfighters. I retired on December 1, 2015. My husband Tim retired in October 2013! Since retiring, Tim and I have taken a couple of cruises and various small trips as well. I joined Soul Fitness Group classes on August 9, 2019. I knew I needed to do something else during my retirement to keep myself in shape and fit to enjoy retirement life. I have since added nutrition coaching and personal training to my repertoire, with Soul Fitness. I enjoy sharing my nutrition experiences with others, as well as my tasty Keto treats at special functions. I joined the Coaching Staff at Soul Fitness as of September 2021!
