What’s your strength? What motivates you? What’s holding you back? My first and most important job as a strength and nutrition coach is figuring out what it will take to get you where you want to be – safely, without setbacks along the way.
Strength and good health should be accessible to everyone, even if you can’t or don’t want to spend every spare minute in a gym. My well-calibrated and thoughtfully guided workouts give you the ability to challenge yourself without pushing too far or too fast and risking injury.
Here’s how I do it
I take a level-headed, evidence-based approach to both strength and nutrition, backed by years of study and practice. When you work with me, you get more than the “what” and the “how”—you also get the “why”. This arms you with a foundational understanding of how best to work with your own body and enables you to take ownership of your physical and mental wellbeing.
Fitness Qualifications

- This allows me to bring a unique perspective to my 8,500+ documented hours of personal training delivered (as of December 31/2024) and 2,000+ hours of teaching classes
Nutrition Qualifications
- NASM-certified nutrition coach
- Competitive athlete in multiple weight class sports, requiring careful nutrition management

Training is a two-way street—even online!
I know what you’re thinking. “Every trainer and their dog has online fitness courses. Yawn!” But there’s one big difference: mine actually works. My online small-group classes and private personal training sessions are built on interactive two-way communication with real-time feedback. That means I see what you’re doing, you can ask questions in the moment, and I’m able to help fine-tune your movement and form to maximize your gains while keeping you safer from injury. You get all the advantages of in-person instruction from the convenience of your home or office.
Think outside the gym
Hey, I’ve been in your shoes. I’ve worked desk jobs and needed to deal with real-life obstacles, navigate my own changing nutritional needs, and evaluate the ways my own strength training needed to adapt as I dealt with injury and pain. When you learn with me, you’re learning with someone who’s had to overcome functional scoliosis and a sprained lumbar spine to achieve a documented double-bodyweight deadlift… beltless! I’m proud of that, and I want you to be proud of what you achieve with me too.
Steady progression for extraordinary results
This isn’t boot camp and I’m not a drill sergeant. That’s how people get careless—and injured. I believe that focused, steady training is the best and most sustainable path forward. After all, the only worthwhile changes are the ones you can sustain, right? Let’s think beyond your next New Year’s resolution, fancy party, or beach vacation. With me, you’ll build on your gains and cement effective habits. I don’t promise a quick fix—although the good news is, pain can be reduced quickly for many!
Those are my strengths. Let’s discover yours.
