Doctor of Physical Therapy, NCAA All-American Athlete, author, speaker, educator, and peak performance coach passionate about optimizing human performance. I have over 15 years of experience in the health and wellness industry working with a wide range of individuals including professional athletes, lawyers, doctors, moms, dads, industrial workers, business executives, military veterans, high schoolers, and indigenous populations. I have helped thousands of people recover from physical injury, fix their posture, correct muscle imbalance, and get their dream body.
I was once a competitive athlete, powerlifter, and bodybuilder and I understand what it takes to be a competitive athlete at a high level. I’ve overcome painful injuries such as a lumbar disc herniation, rotator cuff injuries, surgeries, and broken bones – so I’ve experienced the pains of life-altering effects of injuries and dysfunction firsthand. Fortunately, me being a PT obsessed with this physiological performance stuff is helpful in healing and fine-tuning my physical function and mental framework.
I currently live in Alaska where I get to enjoy outdoor activities such as; hiking, running, glacier climbs, hunting, fishing, epic mountain adventures, and raising awareness of the essential role nature and physical movement play in human health. I am passionate about supporting 1-1 clients, group coaching, and providing corporate wellness solutions – to create a positive impact worldwide.
