It is often said that every trainer's first client is themselves. My fitness journey started in high school, as a 6'7" 140lb kid with the physique of a wet paper bag. In the process of building myself into the 6'11" 290lb stature of my 20s, I learned the values of consistency, patience, trust (of self), and identity. The concepts I had to internalize along the way made a far greater impact on my life than the physical changes possibly could.
As of writing this (October 2025) I can bench 405, squat 455, and deadlift 525. Not anything to write home about, but okay for my height, and certainly enough to help others get stronger.
I hold profound gratitude for being able to do this job - helping others develop their bodies and minds is a privilege.
When I'm not lifting or training others, you can find me reading, playing piano, feeding the local crows, riding my motorcycle, or scouring the internet for clothes that fit me.
One of my favorite things about my job is connecting with clients and learning about their passions and hobbies. I love nerding out with clients whenever the opportunity arises!
