14 years experience. “Build the foundation”
Improving movement through corrective exercise so that the rest of your life can be pain and stress free.
Working out in the gym should help you live the life you want to and allow you partake in any activities that interest you regardless of age, skill, or fitness level.

Results require adapting to high intensities and higher volumes of work. This is not an overnight success and happens over a program of months to years. The first step is to develop a good base that optimizes fat burning, recovery, and movement training (muscle activation and body mechanics). If there is a problem in movement, then the strength training will suffer later and no true results can be maintained. Second, the ability to recover between sets and workouts is probably the most important part of success in the gym because this will increase our ability to tolerate harder exercise. In my training programs I consider a balance of pain-free movement, human performance, and the person. It is not a one size fits all approach and it requires fine tuning adjustments to the person, but the end is a goal reached or the humbleness of where you need to keep working to get there.
My fitness journey started in sports in high school. From there I took what I learned into the U.S. Marine Corps to assist with physical fitness in the unit. After I got out of the military, and got injured several times doing various sports, which led me to understand human movement better. I became a personal trainer with a focus in functional training for 4 years before shortly after. From there I decided to finish my bachelor’s in pre-physical therapy and then a masters in sports performance. My current goal is to publish in the Strength and Conditioning Journal a proposed way to train a system that decreases fatigue while working at maximal levels, so someone can work at their max ability for longer. Ask me about it if you want to nerd out about fitness.
I believe that any physical pain or limitation can be fixed or greatly improved with the correct exercises.
We don’t have to accept living with aches and pains and we certainly don’t have to accept being unhappy with our body and health. With a science-backed approach, my job is to help you achieve your fitness and nutrition goals.
“You dream. You plan. You reach. There will be obstacles. There will be doubters. There will be mistakes. But with hard work, with belief, with confidence and trust in yourself and those around you, there are no limits.”

I believe exercise is for everyone.
We only get one body, and it’s meant to move. I’ve
worked with clients ranging from post-rehabilitation- just trying to get back to performing activities of
daily living, to overweight clients trying to get healthy again, to women and men looking to sculpt
their bodies’ and improve their athletic performance. I utilize my background in corrective exercise
and yoga to ensure the safety, success, and recovery of all my clients.
It’s hard to put the effort in to create greatness. “But it’s a lot harder to accept the
reality that you could have been great.” -Greg Plitt
We get one body and one chance to get it right in this lifetime and your overall health should always
be your number one priority. I always say building good habits takes the same energy as building
bad ones, so why not use that energy in a positive way? I truly believe that everyone has the ability
to be in great shape, they just need the right guidance and someone to walk them through the
process. No one changes in one day and we all started somewhere as long as you get started you're
in the game.
Teach a man a workout, he sweats for a day. Teach a man the science of movement, he sweats to improve for a lifetime.
Nothing will work unless you do. -Maya Angelou
I’m determined to help individuals stop wasting time in the gym and start seeing results. I love making women and men more comfortable and effective in the gym by educating them and building up their confidence.
"Action is the foundational key to all success" -Pablo Picasso
You took action by being here! I'm here to help you take the next step in crushing all of your health and fitness goals! I will hold you accountable, turn your weaknesses into strengths, and provide you with structured, effective, and fun fitness programs!!!
My life goal is to bring others into a fit and healthy lifestyle while coaching them to develop, implement and live with positive fitness and nutritional habits.
With over twenty five years of fitness, rehabilitation and traditional martial arts training I’ve learned how to face change and create discipline; how to master one’s self, blow past set backs, fight to reach that “impossible” goal and continually drive toward the best life. Being able to show you how to win that fight; teach you how create fitness and feed your body for health and how to incorporate regular exercise into your life is what I do. As a Personal Trainer, making it effective, efficient, challenging and fun is my priority. If you struggle to maintain health and fitness as a priority in your life, let me help you.
My training and coaching style mirrors how I believe life is to lived.
It should be exciting and uplifting with moments of intense struggle because in those moments, we grow in body, mind, and sprit.
If you’ve never hired a personal trainer before, you may be unsure as to what exactly their responsibilities would be.
