 I am a Pittsburgh native passionate about turning athletic dreams into reality. I once aimed to be the best athlete I could be, setting my sights on a career in professional baseball.

My collegiate journey at Indiana University of Pennsylvania saw me dominate the center field for 5 impactful years, earning the honor of team captain for 3 of them. Despite a successful baseball career, I realized the missing link—optimal training for the professional stage.

My high school and college weight room days were a puzzle, a quest to "figure things out" without the knowledge of proper training techniques. This realization fueled my mission. Today, I'm dedicated to shaping the best, most elite athletes. My life goal shifted from personal athletic achievements to developing professionals like you.

Join me in taking the leap, and let's get serious about your athletic development. I want nothing less than for YOU to be the biggest, strongest, most explosive, and powerful athlete you can be. Together, let's sculpt your path to greatness!
