About Me
My Story
I wasn't always dedicated to fitness and lifting heavy.
My journey into becoming a trainer and turning strength training into a career and passion stems from a life-long battle with my body weight.
where it started
I had always been into sports. Swimming, wrestling, rowing, Rugby, i never wasn't active with some sort of sport.
​
However, i was never able to control my weight. I lacked the discipline to avoid or limit fatty foods, lied and hid snacks so I could enjoy them whenever, and always blamed external factors on my inability to control my weight.
​​
As I grew up, I battled with weight management on many occasions.
where it led
Sometime after my 25th birthday, i stepped onto a scale and saw the weight had hit 320 lbs. It wasn't new seeing a ludicrous number, but this was the time that hit me deepest.
I thought to myself: "if i dont fix this by the time I turn 30, it'll never happen."
The very next day, I took the earliest morning train to use my office's gym, with no plan other than 'work out every day' carrying me forward. Not long after, I met a trainer who would change the course of this journey forever.
​
Working with him, i learned the foundations of barbell and strength training, the simple complexity of meal prepping and macro tracking, and developing a love for picking up heavier and heavier weights.
where it's going
After seeing so much success with my own training, programming, and body fat loss i had a major change of pace.
​
Realizing I knew the ins and outs of getting stronger, losing weight, and feeling overall more capable of tackling daily life, I had come to understand how difficult yet transformative of a process it all is.
​
I eventually left my previous full time career in Architecture and tookk up training as a hobby/second job. I studied, became certified, and have now worked as a trainer for multiple years, guiding dozens of clients towards success.
​
I've worked with the everyday person looking to get in better shape, powerlifters, bodybuilders, and even trained some clients through the entirety of a pregnancy. All I desire in the fitness world is to help others find the same level of peace and fulfillment I have from strength training and building muscle mass, and I dedicate every fiber of my being to helping you achieve such success!
