BIOGRAPHY
Two things were very important to me growing up, my academics and sports. I was a dedicated student and athlete all the way through my 4 years of college. I wanted to combine my passions of sports and fitness with a career and I this lead me to find my way into health and science in college. Long before I found CrossFit I knew I wanted to coach and guide people towards optimal health.
Coaching became my first passion in the world of fitness. However, my athletic background lead me into competing in the sport of fitness soon after. For 5 years now my athletic career and coaching career have lived parallel lives and it has been a dream come true to find purpose in through both avenues.
I currently live, work, and train in Mill Valley California out of TJ’s Gym Mill Valley. I co-own a CrossFit facility, coach and design programs for over 30 remote athletes and facilities, am the founder of a supplement company Revive-Rx, and train 6 days a week for the sport of fitness and for life.
