About Me: I’ve been a personal trainer now for over 17 years. I’ve trained many different people throughout my years of experience from student athletes to 90+ year old clients; from sport specific to just trying to lose some weight and live healthier. I grew up in the east Bay Area of California (Pleasant Hill) before moving out here to Texas. I played a few different sports in my youth including soccer, baseball, football, swimming, and water polo. My main sport all the way through college was swimming. I still enjoy swimming laps to this day. I find it relaxing probably in the same way runners enjoy running. My other favorite sport and the one I’ve been doing almost as long is weightlifting/bodybuilding. Since 2020 I’ve discovered I enjoy lifting weights and exercising at home as much as at the gym.
Fitness Philosophy/Mantra:
Slow and steady (methodical) progress. Never give up! I believe if you make up your mind to accomplish something and if you’re willing to keep getting up and “get back on the horse” you’ll eventually get there. I believe discipline through accountability is more important than motivation. What I do for my clients is provide that accountability/discipline but more importantly I provide encouragement to keep pushing forward. I provide that in different ways from verbal encouragement (I’m always positive and supportive) to stats that show progress to keep my clients motivated. Finally a big part of my training philosophy is building strength. A stronger version of yourself is always a better version and strength is something that can be improved at any stage of life.
