Who am I?

Raised against the backdrop of the 90s and early 2000s, I always felt like I didn’t belong.  I was weird and scrawny.  I was nervous and shy.

​

As I grew into my pre-teen and teen years, my life was infused with the anthems of emo, punk, and nu-metal. Bands like Linkin Park, Story of the Year, Dashboard Confessional, and blink-182, became the soundtrack to my formative years, shaping my outlook on life.

 

Now, in my mid-30s, I’ve figured out how to blend my passion for music with my dedication to fitness. As a millennial dad with a typical 9-5 office job, I discovered my love for strength training and weight lifting in 2018. And, what began as a personal quest for physical improvement quickly became a transformative journey, leading to significant gains in both strength, size, and confidence.

 

My approach to lifting is deeply influenced by my musical roots. It’s passionate, gritty, and meets you where you’re at.

 

It’s time for the misfits and weirdos to win.

 

I now dedicate my free time to helping others, particularly beginners who aspire to get stronger, and feel better. My empathetic and enthusiastic coaching style has earned me a reputation as a mentor who not only understands the technicalities of lifting, but also the emotional journey that accompanies it.

If you're local to the Indy area and would like to train in a private facility, my personal home gym is available by appointment.  For those not in the Indy area, virtual custom programming and personalized coaching is available.
