My first introduction to lifting was through the high school football summer lifting program at Boise High. I was immediately hooked, and knew this is something I wanted to be involved with for the rest of my life. After my formative years of youth sports I pursued my undergraduate degree at Boise State University where I received my B.S. in Kinesiology, Exercise Science. From sport performance training, aesthetic growth, strongman, highland games, and finally to powerlifting, fitness has been an interesting journey for me to say the least. I've been involved in virtually all aspects of the fitness industry. For the past 8 years I have been honing my skills and applicable knowledge in the space of hypertrophy as well as strength and conditioning. What really drives me as a coach is educating my clients. My philosophy as a coach is, I want to be so good at my job that I don't have a job anymore. Namely, I want to provide anyone I have the privilege to coach with the tools and knowledge to be successful in any physical pursuit they wish.
