About me

With a foundation as a competitive gymnast, I developed a deep understanding of strength, flexibility, and body control, excelling at both individual and team competitions. These skills laid the groundwork for transitioning into CrossFit. As a CrossFit competitor, the competitive spirit was forged combining gymnastics, weightlifting, endurance and mental toughness. Building on that competitiveness, I became a gym owner creating a thriving gym community focused on functionality and performance. Completing my CrossFit Level 1 and USA Weightlifting Level 1, has provided an opportunity to coach athletes of all levels, helping them achieve personal bests while optimizing performance ability, mobility and sustainable progress. In addition to leading a successful CrossFit affiliate gym, I served as a trainer for U.S. Army service members where I provided specialized training programs tailored to military fitness standards and combat readiness. Working with the U.S. Army focused on developing soldiers' physical preparedness through functional strength training, high-intensity workouts, injury-rehabilitation protocols, fostering peak performance under pressure. As a Hyrox Level 1 coach and hybrid athlete, I have combined elements from multiple disciplines to create a balanced and adaptable approach. This diverse training methodology has not only enhanced personal performance, but my coaching philosophy as a well-rounded functional approach to athletic development. With a strong commitment to lifelong fitness, I continue to push the boundaries of personal and professional performance, offering mentorship and guidance to athletes and tactical-military personnel alike. Whether in the gym, on the competition floor, or training athletes I remain dedicated to building strength, resilience and mental fortitude.
