I’m a strength coach and personal trainer with over 20 years of experience. I kicked off my career as a fitness professional by earning a degree in Nutritional Sciences and dove head first into working with clients of all types.

Originally from St. Louis, MO, my love for training started young, lifting weights by the age of 10. Training in my parent’s basement grew into a passion for learning about the human body and how it moves.  My approach to training has evolved over the years through learning from my clients, leading the education department for Equinox, attending continuing education, and experiencing life. I have expanded my abilities through achieving various certifications including the NSCA-CSCS, StrongFirst Level 2 Kettlebell Instructor, FMS Level 2, and Precision Nutrition Level 2 (among others).

I practice client-centered coaching, ensuring the client is always the hero of the program. This leads to creating programs that fit my their unique needs and wants, delivering great results with a high level of enjoyment in the process.

Now as a father of three small kids I continue my learning journey through balancing the demands of life. I’m constantly working to find ways to maintain a healthy lifestyle and keep my training going all while spending time with my family. Playing with my kids is an ever present training goal!

To me THRIVING means finding training that works for your life and sets you up to be successful in all aspects of what you do.
