Personally, I did not grow up around sports. I was overweight and it affected me physically and mentally. In 2012, I began digging myself out of the hole by pursuing this path on fitness and self-reinvention. I lost over 70 lbs and found inspiration to participate in various sports. This led me into pursuing a competitive powerlifting career, which was short-lived as injuries occurred. My focus is now turned towards unlocking my athletic potential in volleyball. ​ A lifetime of learning from mentors and other professionals has shaped me into the coach that I am today. One of my training philosophies is to build a good human being first, and athlete second. I also believe that every individual has athletic potential in them. I plan to bring that out of each individual, regardless of their age or experience. Ultimately, my goal is help individuals win at life through strength & conditioning. ​ If any of the above resonates with you, it would be my pleasure to work together.
