My path into fitness wasn’t straightforward. After moving from New York City, I spent many successful years in San Francisco’s vibrant bar and restaurant scene. I loved the energy and connection of that world, but the late nights and unhealthy routines eventually caught up with me, and I realized I needed a change. What started as a personal reset turned into a deep fascination with how the body actually works. Not just in the gym, but across stress, sleep, nutrition, and recovery. I know how intimidating it can be to focus on your health, especially when it feels like you’re starting from scratch. With the right guidance and consistency, I found myself feeling stronger and healthier in my 40’s than ever before. That experience shaped how I coach today, creating thoughtful programs that meet people where they are.

Whether you’re just getting started or ready to take your training to the next level, I offer a smart and sustainable path forward. I love helping my clients build strength and muscle, but always with longevity in mind. That’s why thorough assessments, movement quality, and strategic progression are central to everything I do. My extensive continuing education gives me a wide range of tools to coach toward your goals, whether it's athletic development, improving body composition, or addressing imbalances and movement limitations. Everything is built around your individual needs, not a generic template.

​As a coach, I blend my love of hospitality with a passion for strength training. I provide the plan, guidance, and adjustments. You bring your effort and consistency. Together, we build a body and a mindset that supports your life, not limits it.

When I’m not geeking out over health, I’m exploring new restaurants or catching live entertainment – punk shows, comedy, magic. I’m an avid sci-fi and comic book reader. Travel fuels me. I’m always up for some friendly competition in any game.
