ABOUT ME

For nearly a decade I’ve had the privilege to train some of the world’s top athletes in their respective disciplines. I find purpose in helping each individual navigate their own path towards self actualization.

You are central to the process. Through the lens of Self-Determination Theory we work to maximize your autonomy, your mastery, and your connection to the training process.
