Your intro / history: I grew up in New Jersey playing hockey, lacrosse, and snowboarding. After college, I began functional fitness workouts and had an amazing community and coaches who taught me skills and lifts I had no experience with. After two short years, I got the opportunity to coach part time. I fell in love with the feeling of paying forward the knowledge I had gained and helping others on their fitness journeys. I eventually changed careers to become a full time coach and have never looked back.

My motivation as a coach stems from athletes trusting me with their training and my ability to help them reach their goals. I love being able to share the joy athletes experience, whether it’s hitting a new weightlifting personal record, recovering from injury, feeling better playing with their kids, or being able to enjoy their hobbies more.

My ideal workout would include: squat cleans, rope climbs, box jumps, and double unders.

Outside the gym, I enjoy snowboarding, hiking, camping, ice hockey, trail running, and spending time with my partner and dog.

A really cool experience I’ve had is that in 2021, It took me 140 days to thru-hike the 2,192 mile Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine.
