My Story
I've been a competitive powerlifter since 2021. For the first couple years I was coached — until 2022, when my coach left with no warning. No transition, no explanation, just gone.
That left me to figure out my own injuries, programming, and progression completely on my own. I didn't start coaching other people right away. I wanted to see real progress in my own lifts first, on programming I built myself, before I trusted myself to build it for someone else. It took almost two years of programming for just myself before I took on my first athletes — people who put their trust in me to handle their progress the right way.
Since then, I've coached and handled athletes from local meets, to state level, to regionals, and now I'm on track to coach at nationals in 2027. The coaching has gotten better every single year, and it keeps evolving.
Biomechanics, technique, and progression schemes are the foundation — but the thing I actually pride myself on most is communication. Every coach says that's their selling point, I know. But when I was coached, the silence is what got to me. Going weeks without hearing anything, then being told "if I don't say anything, that means nothing's wrong." I didn't need hand-holding. I didn't need a novel every week. I just needed to know someone was actually paying attention.
Years later, that's still true. Every athlete I've coached has heard from me consistently, even during the busiest stretches with everything else going on outside of this.
My goal with every athlete is simple: take them as far as they want to go, with the mentality that they actually want to be great. That they want to chase greatness.
