Nearly 20 years in the fitness industry. B.S. in Recreation with an emphasis in Health and Wellness Promotion from Missouri State University. Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist through the NSCA. CPR and First Aid certified.
I’ve spent nearly 20 years helping athletes and adults become stronger, more capable, and more confident. I specialize in coaching groups with different abilities and creating a clear path forward for people who may not know where to start. Outside the gym, I enjoy mountain biking, fishing, cooking, traveling with my family, and sitting quietly in the woods pretending I’m hunting. I’ve been married to my wife since 2008, and we have two daughters and a mini Bernedoodle who loves coming to the gym with me.
I saw how overwhelming fitness had become for many people. Too much conflicting information left them unsure of what to do or whether they were doing it correctly. I built DSC to quiet that noise and give people the coaching, structure, and support they need to make lasting progress.
I believe strength training can improve nearly every part of a person’s life—but only if they keep showing up. My goal is to make training fun, challenging, and progressive while creating an environment people genuinely want to return to.
