Hard work is expected. Direction is what most people lack.

I spent 7 years in the Navy flying in the MH-60S as an Aviation Rescue Swimmer and Crew Chief. I deployed four times across the 7th Fleet and was stationed in Guam and San Diego.

Fitness was never optional. It was tied directly to performance, and at times, someone else’s life depended on it.

I consistently achieved perfect scores on the SAR Fitness Test and trained to a standard that went beyond numbers. Strength, endurance, and composure all had to show up when it mattered.

After getting out in 2018, I had to find a new outlet for that level of purpose. I became a licensed 100-ton Merchant Marine Captain and a NASM Certified Personal Trainer, while continuing to train and coach.

Around that time, I joined Skeleton Crew Sailing and took part in a voyage across the Pacific Ocean, down through South America, and around Cape Horn, often considered the Mount Everest of sailing.

That journey became the documentary "Hell or High Seas." It was built around using challenge and environment to work through the transition many veterans face after service.

From there, I spent years working on the water. I captained and instructed sailing across the Great Lakes and Pacific, taught through the American Sailing Association, and ran 100-ton captain licensing courses across the country, often teaching 12 to 14 students at a time in intensive 9-day programs.

At the same time, I completed my BASc from Western Michigan University with a focus on health science, history, and military science.

Through it all, training stayed constant.

Over the last two years, I have been living full-time on the road, traveling across the country and working with clients in different environments while continuing to build my coaching. That experience has given me a wider perspective on how people train, what they struggle with, and what actually works in the real world.

The long-term goal is to build a space of my own. Until then, the focus stays the same. Keep improving, keep coaching, and keep building something that lasts.

What started as a side focus became a profession. I have coached across multiple environments, from large gyms to private training, working with clients in weightlifting, powerlifting, swimming, triathlon, mountain biking, and bodybuilding, including prep and competition.

Now everything is centered on coaching.

My focus is on building strength as a foundation, then developing movement, performance, and durability so it actually carries over. Whether that is in competition, daily life, or something more demanding, the goal remains the same.

Train with purpose. Build something that actually carries over.

So, who is my Coaching for?

This is for you if:

You want your training to carry over beyond the gym

You are willing to train with intent and stay consistent

You expect more from your body than just strength

This is not for you if:

You are looking for random workouts without structure
