“For me, fitness is an ongoing physical, intellectual, and spiritual endeavor. It fulfills desires to create, to imagine, and to explore. As an athlete, I look at a workout as a way to disconnect from all of the noise in the outside world and reconnect and rediscover my inner peace. As a coach, the hours I spend designing workout programs and providing coaching to my athletes are my most favorite times. It is a creative outlet that concurrently allows me to help others realize their full potential. Whether you are a competitive athlete looking to take your game to the next level, or a life long couch potato ready to make a complete 180 with your health and wellness, I look forward to working with you!”

My relationship with fitness is constantly evolving and shifting. I’ve learned there is a fluidity to fitness that has helped me be at my happiest at each stage of my life. My goal as a coach is to create inclusion by showing individuals where fitness can meet their needs so they can also feel fulfilled through this journey of life! Because that’s what fitness is – a journey. It is the continuous puzzle of finding out how to balance the intricacies of YOUR health and happiness within YOUR life.”

“When I hear the word “fitness.” I think of stress relief. As a member of the football team at both the high school and collegiate level, the best part was being able to just leave everything on the field and know that I put every ounce of effort into each play. Throughout the past five years in which I have learned to love (and hate) the sport of Olympic lifting, that mentality has remained the same. No matter what physical or mental state I am in, I approach every lift like it is my last. As a coach at Steelworks, my priority is to help lifters be the best that they can be, regardless of experience level.”
