As an occupational therapist, my perspective on training differs from other health professionals and strength coaches. My programming, exercise selection, and interventions are intentionally tailored to your holistic needs, rather than strictly adhering to standard protocols or textbook approaches. While fundamental barbell exercises, linear progression, and Minimum Effective Dose programming are potential tools, they are not the law. I recognize that progress is often non-linear, especially when life circumstances create training challenges.

I have been coaching since 2014 and online since 2017. My experience includes working with a diverse range of individuals, such as busy small business owners, fellow strength and conditioning professionals, military personnel, first responders, competitive and recreational martial artists (including an ADCC World Champion), and blue-collar workers aiming to maintain their physical capacity to provide for their families as long as they can.

I particularly enjoy working with individuals who appreciate the human body and find joy in movement for its own sake – they are my ideal clients. Focus less on overthinking, train consistently, and enjoy the process. Ultimately, everyone’s journey ends with death anyway. Try not to confuse good training with clever marketing.
