I’ve always been fascinated by the intersection of performance, health, and longevity, how we can use exercise not just to feel good today, but to build resilience for decades to come. What drew me to this field is the power of objective data paired with thoughtful coaching. I love helping clients understand their physiology, whether that’s through VO₂ max testing, DEXA scans, or strength assessments, and translating those numbers into meaningful, actionable plans.

I’m especially “nerdy” about aerobic development, mitochondrial health, and the physiological differences between males and females in training and recovery. I believe that understanding these nuances allows us to train smarter, not just harder.

My approach is collaborative and education-focused. I want clients to leave sessions not only stronger, but more confident in understanding their bodies. Whether someone is training for performance, rebuilding after illness, or investing in long-term health, I aim to meet them where they’re at and build sustainable progress.

Outside of work, you’ll likely find me trail running, exploring the outdoors, or diving into the latest research on performance and longevity. Movement has always been a grounding force in my life, and I feel incredibly grateful to help others experience that same empowerment.
