What do you love most about your job?

Many things!

I enjoy taking on the new challenges different clients bring to me: weight loss, muscle, strength and endurance development, healthy lifestyle adaptations, and chronic pain relief are the most common. Depending on an individual's history with training, level of education, and state of health, meeting the above mentioned fitness/lifestyle/rehabilitation goals can be relatively straightforward or require a fair amount of intervention both physically and educationally.

I have learned a lot about pushing my limits and breaking through what many would consider "impossibilities." It is an honor for me to be able to share what I have learned through hard-earned experience, take part in people's health and fitness journey, and see them grow!

At the end of it all, I truly appreciate knowing I have left a person better than when I first met them. At this point I would have taught them the skills necessary to continue leading a health oriented lifestyle, and instilled a solid sense of confidence.

What inspired you to start your own business?

I want to share the lessons I have learned throughout the years. The transforming of one's mindset, health, and fitness is no easy feat to take on alone. I have gone through the wringer with regard to building my health and fitness, and certainly rehabilitating from injury.

There are many pitfalls and a ton of misinformation out there. I have fallen victim to most of it, and had to relearn what it takes to maintain a healthy mind and body.

I'd like to help prevent people from going down the same path while unnecessarily prolonging the achievement of their goals.

Why should our clients choose you?

I have a unique blend of of experiences and technical knowledge related to health, fitness, rehabilitation, and what it takes to transition from a traditional lifestyle to one that nurtures growth in areas related to overall wellness.

EXPERIENCE - STRENGTH & MINDSET
I started my fitness journey in college when I decided to pursue a career in the navy as a SEAL. For years I trained extreme muscular endurance, and anaerobic/aerobic capacity. I was the team leader of a group of civilians training up for U.S. Special Operations, Navy SEALs, and other elite programs in the military. Three hours of swimming, followed by ten miles of running, and ending with heavy lifting and/or hundreds of repetitions of calisthenics was commonplace for me. Although I called my military career short after graduating boot camp (I am not a SEAL), I learned much about the mind's ability to push the body to levels it has never experienced (and beyond).

EXPERIENCE - ENDURANCE FOCUSED
After my discharge from the military I decided to keep up the intensity and take on ultra marathoning. The mental resilience and fitness I forged through intensive training in preparing for the military led me to take on a 50 mile marathon prior to ever running a traditionally distanced marathon of 26.2 miles (why not?). After completing my first 50 mile race, I completed another 50 miler before jumping to a 101 mile race. Despite many warnings from the running community and the concern of friends, I took the race on and earned a 3rd place finish in under 24 hours.

EXPERIENCE - REHABILITATION
Prior to entering the military I was dealing with moderate to sometimes severe chronic pain in my knees, lower back, neck, shoulders, and SI joint. I consulted with over seven physical therapists, doctors of physical therapy, MDs, and surgeons at (HSS). Despite literal blood, sweat, tears, (and time/money), and the feeling of hopelessness, I was able to educate myself on mechanics, and with the help of a wonderful team of therapists get my body in order again. I also decided to take on the formal education that separated these physical therapists from the many others that were not able to help me.

I had to unlearn a ton of misinformation regarding mechanics, form, and different styles of training. Eventually I was able to get my body in working order again, and compete for and earn a SEAL contract (about 1,000 awarded once a year throughout the U.S.).

Despite my unique blend of quality hard-earned experience, I realize there is always more to learn, and therefore make an effort to constantly educate myself by attending different courses and taking on a variety of readings.

EXPERIENCE - HEALTH
As a child I was severely asthmatic. There were many times I was hospitalized and required emergency medical attention. When I decided to try out for the military I realized I would not be able to join as an asthmatic. I decided to consult with two pulmonologists and both claimed there was no way for me to not be dependent on my inhaler (that there was no way for me to join the military). Contrary to their advice, I continued to train, but this time without the use of a rescue inhaler. I would experience and run through many asthma attacks before I was finally able to breakthrough. I now run ultra marathons with no issues and haven't used an inhaler in over ten years.

The two pulmonologists I consulted with were experts in lung physiology, but clearly not in human potential.

WHY YOU SHOULD CHOOSE ME
I know what it's like to feel and perform terribly. I know what it's like to feel helpless due to chronic pain and low self-esteem. I also know--through many years of tough training--what it's like to feel confident, perform well, exceed expectations, and feel on top of the world. I do not take a textbook approach to training, I take a wholistic view: what are your likes/dislikes?; what medical conditions do you have?; what beliefs do you have that may be limiting your growth and success?; do you have a support system?

Also, it's important to keep in mind that just because someone is fit--and certified--does not mean they know what they are doing. I am certified through the American Council on Exercise (ACE). It typically takes about 3-6 months to prepare for it. I passed it with a score of 95% with only about three hours of studying. This is because I have spent years training, making mistakes, and correcting them prior to taking the exam. However, I had to unlearn much of it (the text book stuff) and relearn mechanics altogether. I had to reeducate myself after earning the certification because the "best" way to train is always evolving with the advent of new discoveries.

There is a lot that goes into developing a properly and optimally functioning body and mind. I'm happy to start the journey with you.

This is not just a job for me, it's a craft, it's a way of life.

How do you help your clients achieve their fitness goals?

My approach to helping clients meet their goals is varied and depends on the individual's level of experience in relation to their goal, and the goal itself. If, for example, you want to lose wight but know nothing about the fundamentals of nutrition and a healthy mindset, I would make education a priority by prescribing relevant reading and other educational materials, while simultaneously providing an effective weight loss plan. On the other hand, if you are used to running half marathons, have your nutrition dialed in, and want to train for a longer or tougher race, I would incorporate mental toughness training as well as a quality running program.

I do not take a cookie cutter approach with my clients. I recognize and appreciate the fact that everyone is truly unique and nuanced. This individuality and the need to adapt to it is what makes my craft interesting and provides a healthy challenge. :)

What’s the secret to getting the body of your dreams?

The most important thing is to ensure you have healthy expectations of yourself. There is nothing wrong with wanting to be a body builder/power lifter, or endurance athlete, but there are common negative consequences associated with attempting to--and achieving--very high levels of fitness.

Once you are convinced you are guided by healthy expectations, the next step is to educate yourself as much as possible about what it is you're after. This can be in the way of self-educating, hiring a professional, or both.

Finally, it is important to exercise patience and consistency. Transformations take a while to occur, but it is the journey you need to learn to appreciate. Never underestimate the power of consistency. Quality efforts--even if they are relatively small--have a profound cumulative effect: you achieve much more in the long haul running two miles a day for a month than one 15 mile push.
