About Coach I know firsthand how transformative fitness can be. I used to weigh 220 lbs and felt stuck, but through years of trial and error, I learned how to take control of my health the safe and sustainable way. At my leanest, I lost over 70 lbs and discovered the freedom that comes with living a healthy lifestyle. Now, I’m passionate about helping others experience that same sense of accomplishment and success. When I’m not coaching, I like to read books about the history of fitness (not joking), science fiction or fantasy. I also like to distract myself with anger while I lost at Fortnite.
The true catalyst came when an old man in the gym gave me the unsolicited advice that I didn't need protein supplements because I was too fat. The sad truth was he was right. I'd ballooned up to 220 lbs and constantly hated what I saw in the mirror. That day I promised myself I'd make a change. I began eating healthier, taking care of my wellness and training differently. These lessons were blessings. I started losing weight and was lucky enough to get moved to the Fitness Department at Misericordia teaching fitness to adults with developmental disabilities. I was hooked. The joy and reward of helping someone who never thought they could do the things they've always wanted gave me life. I became certified in 2017 and never looked back. I went independent in 2021 and have been fortunate enough to become a Co-Owner and the General Manager of PXM in early 2025.
I remember how it felt to be unhappy, achy, and weak, and my mission is to help others leave that feeling behind by showing them they can achieve anything they set their minds to. I specialize in barbell basics, nutrition, bodybuilding, inclusive fitness, and habit change, but my true superpower is transforming people who once found the gym intimidating into proud gym rats. Fitness is one of the few things in life you can’t buy, inherit, or borrow—it’s something you have to earn through hard work and determination. We have an incredible ability to adapt and become anyone we want to be, and I’m lucky enough to help people unlock that potential. As long as you’re willing to show up and put in the work, I’ll be by your side every step of the way.
