The first time I experienced back pain was in third grade.

I noticed that whenever I sat without back support for more than a few minutes, a dull ache would creep up the right side of my spine, slowly building in intensity until it was too much to bear.

As the years went on, my condition worsened until by the time I was in my early twenties I was suffering from near constant pain, so much so that I found a traditional desk job unbearable. I’d been seeing chiropractors for years, but found the pain always returned days later.

What I needed was a real solution, one that didn’t just treat the symptoms but actually addressed the core problem. Over the next several years, I studied the foremost experts in the fields of strength training, biomechanics, and physical therapy; then synthesized their techniques into a model of personal training that’s allowed me to rebuild myself and others from the ground up.

My goal is not simply to help clients lose a few pounds or train around an injury, but to transform them into the best shape of their lives – in a body that feels as good as it looks.
