I have over 6 years of personal training experience, working primarily with athletes across different sports and levels of competition. I have also spent 2 years coaching high school football and briefly coached at the collegiate level in 2020. My coaching approach focuses on developing well-rounded athletes by building foundational strength, explosive power, coordination, and sport-specific movement skills. I use structured programming and periodization to help athletes progressively develop their physical abilities while emphasizing proper technique, consistency, and long-term athletic development.

I competed at Linfield College for 4 years in football and 2 years in track and field. During my time in track, I earned a conference championship in the triple jump my freshman year and finished second in the event my sophomore year. In football, I earned All-American honors as a kick returner and was named All-Conference as a defensive back. After graduating from Linfield in 2017, I went to Germany and played a season with the Hamburg Huskies in the GFL 1 (The highest level of football in Germany at the time). My athletic experience gave me firsthand knowledge of the dedication, preparation, and physical development required to compete at a high level. Having competed in multiple sports, I understand the importance of developing strength, speed, explosiveness, and coordination to maximize athletic performance.

Every athlete begins with an initial assessment to evaluate their movement patterns, current strength, mobility, coordination, and overall athletic abilities. This allows me to identify areas for improvement and establish a starting point for programming. Sessions typically begin with a dynamic warm-up and movement preparation, followed by structured strength and power development. Depending on the athlete's needs and training phase, sessions may also incorporate plyometrics, speed and agility drills, coordination work, and sport-specific movements. I use progressive periodization to build a foundation of strength before translating those gains into explosive, athletic movements that carry over to competition. Training is adjusted to the athlete's age, experience, goals, and sport.
