Twelve years of watching what actually lasts.

I've been coaching since 2014 -- group fitness floors first, hundreds of classes and every kind of body in the room, then a decade plus of 1:1 online coaching. These days I'm also the Programming Manager at Level Method, working inside the same system this site's assessment is built on.

The pillar I've fought with most is nutrition. I've struggled with it for years and still do -- and this is what I do for a living. That fight is why my nutrition coaching starts with subtraction, one thing at a time, instead of a clean-slate plan that collapses inside a week. I coach it the way I actually live it.

Group coaching showed me the ceiling of general advice. The same workout in a room of twenty lands twenty different ways -- the surfer, the postpartum mom, and the bodybuilder all need something different from me. 1:1 is where the actual coaching happens: weekly adjustments, built around your life, changed when your life changes.

The analysis on this site is the first portion of the longer assessment I start every client with. Take it and you'll get a real read on where you're starting -- and your answers come straight to me.

Purpose, sleep, nutrition, movement. Four pillars, one system -- when one goes, it pulls the others down in ways that look like a willpower problem and almost never are. So I don't fix all four at once. I find the one that's most broken, and it's usually obvious the second we actually look, and we start there. And I coach on a ten-year clock. Almost everything in fitness is sold in twelve-week units; bodies don't work that way. Twelve weeks is enough to build a practice. Ten years is what the practice is for.

I'm in Irvine, California. I still train four days a week, still fight my nutrition like everyone else, and still think a long walk fixes more than people want to admit.
