I graduated from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo with my Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology, then received my Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Regis University. Iβve had the opportunity to work with everyone from pro bodybuilders and combat athletes to weekend warriors and first-time gym athletes.
If youβre injured, I get it β Iβve had my fair share of injuries and pain that have prevented me from lifting, so Iβve felt the frustration and loss of identity that can accompany being in pain.
Iβve also felt the euphoria of getting back to lifting in the gym without being held back by pain, and thatβs a feeling that I want to give EVERYONE who has felt stuck in their pain.
My own lifting experience and interests include everything from running to hiking to weight training, and in the past year Iβve competed in a bodybuilding show, run a half marathon and taken a deep dive into powerlifting. However, my real passion lies in giving people the tools to do what they want, for as long as they want, through exercise.
Helping people get back to the things they love, feel strong in their bodies AND hit PRs along the way is the most rewarding experience in the world, and itβs what makes me love being a PT.
If youβre passionate about it, Iβm passionate about getting you back to doing it, and together weβll overcome the pain or other barriers keeping you from living life on your own terms!
Iβm a Doctor of Physical Therapy & Fitness Coach, and a major meathead to boot. I firmly believe that exercise is the key to living the life you want for decades to come, and my mission is to get people back in the gym, unhindered by pain, and get strong along the way!
