My fitness/coaching journey started as soon as I started playing sports. I played football, wrestled, and power-lifted throughout high school. I was the Championship MVP for my football team., 4x-All-state/3x-All New England/ Top 30 nationally ranked in wrestling, and a national powerlifting champion. I attended Southern Illinois University of Edwardsville where I wrestled Division 1 and completed my Bachelors of Exercise Science and my Masters in Exercise Physiology.

As a high-level athlete, I thrived with the guidance of exceptional coaches and individuals. However, my athletic journey was marred by injuries, preventing me from fully realizing my goals.

Devoting my life to a singular pursuit and falling short shattered me internally. Yet, from this adversity, I gleaned two significant lessons. Firstly, I realized that my life's purpose extends beyond athletics; it is about striving to be the best version of myself in all aspects. Secondly, I came to understand that my athletic journey was intended to equip me with the ability to give back and assist others in realizing their full potential.

My coaching objective is to support individuals facing physical, mental, or emotional challenges in achieving their fitness and/or athletic aspirations.
