This is what 7 years of consistency looks like for me.

The first 3 years, I had no idea what I was doing.

2020 was when I started taking courses about program design, nutrition, and physiology.

2022 was when I was training for powerlifting and started my career in Strength & Conditioning.

2023 was when I tried to bulk and get as big as possible and felt the worst I ever had.

2024 was when I ran my marathon and felt the best I ever had.

Now, I am training for a 100 mile bike race and another marathon and am feeling amazing!

The biggest change throughout all these years has been my programming and nutrition. The intensity has always been there. I have always trained as hard as I could in every session throughout these last 7 years. Good or bad session I can confidently say that I’ve given 100% of whatever I had that day.

My knowledge behind nutrition and recovery has improved tremendously.
For the first 4 years I ate whatever I wanted and treated myself poorly otherwise and called it good as long as ate enough protein. Now, I still prioritize protein but I also ensure I eat a more balanced diet catered towards my goals and take my recovery much more seriously.

This all to be said that I walk the walk and I coach with the same intensity that I have put forth myself for the last 7 years.

If you want real results, eliminate the guess work and train like your life depends on it, because it does!

What an incredible journey it has been!

Reflecting on my last two years at Fairfield, the word that resonates most with me is “blessed.” I am immensely grateful for the experiences I’ve had!

To all the athletes I’ve had the privilege to work with, thank you! Your trust, dedication, and relentless drive to show up and give your best every day have inspired me beyond words. You’ve made every morning a reason to wake up with a smile and tackle the day ahead!

To the coaches and staff, I want to express my gratitude for your trust and support. Being part of your teams has allowed me to learn and grow in ways I never expected. The collaboration and camaraderie we’ve shared have made this experience truly special. Thank you for welcoming me and for the invaluable lessons along the way.

A big thank you to everyone on the @stagsperformance staff. You took a chance on me, and in doing so, you helped me grow not only as a coach but as a man. I will forever cherish the time spent with such an exceptional group of coaches!

Now, I’m ready to embrace a new chapter! I am thrilled to announce my journey as an online fitness professional. With overwhelming support behind me, I am eager to begin this exciting process!
