My Story

Movement has been my language for as long as I can remember. From gymnastics and track to years of strength training, I’ve always been pulled toward the spaces where discipline meets passion. That path eventually led me into personal training, corrective exercise, and competitive lifting, and it’s shaped me into the coach I am today.

 

I’m a world-level powerlifter and high-level athlete who also cares deeply about movement quality.

I’m competitive by nature but I also understand mental health, burnout, building confidence from the inside out, and the realties of navigating life while trying to better yourself.

I’m a coach, a creator, a business owner, and a human, and I bring all of that to the table with you.

 

But here’s the part that matters:

My identity as an athlete informs my coaching, it doesn’t define the clients I work with. You don’t need to be a powerlifter (or ever step on a platform) to benefit from the standards, intentionality, and precision I’ve learned through years of training and competition. My goal isn’t to show you what progress can feel like when your body moves well, your program makes sense, and your coach actually listens.

 

Over the years, my experience has spanned functional fitness, fat loss, injury recovery, bodybuilding, and competitive strength, giving me a deep toolbox for helping people rebuild confidence, gain strength, or simply feel better moving through their everyday life. You’ll get smart programming, thoughtful adjustments, and a coach who pays attention to the details that most people overlook. You'll reconnect with your body that goes far beyond a workout plan.

 

My mission?

To make fitness feel personal, powerful, and sustainable. To help you reach your goals without losing yourself in the process. We'll build something that fits your life, adapts with you, and genuinely supports long-term success.

 

Because fitness isn’t just reps and numbers.

It’s identity. It’s growth. It’s creating a version of yourself you’re proud of.

 

I’m here to give you real guidance, real tools, and real support, not pressure, not perfection, not a one-size-fits-all program. Just long-term success and a coach who genuinely cares about your progress inside and outside the gym.

 

Let’s build something you didn’t think was possible… and make it your new baseline.
