My path into fitness wasn’t straightforward. After moving from New York City, I spent many successful years working 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 works. Not just in the gym, but across stress, sleep, nutrition, and recovery. 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.

I know how intimidating it can be to focus on your health, especially when it feels like you’re starting from scratch. 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.
