The Approach

Training Built for the
Long Game

I don't coach people who want a quick fix. I work with adults who are serious about staying strong, moving well, and competing — in sport and in life — for as long as possible.

That means programming that's smart, not just hard. Training that respects your body while pushing your limits. And a coaching relationship built on honesty, not hype.

My Story
01
Smart Programming

Built around your body, your schedule, and your goals — not a generic template.

02
Honest Coaching

Direct feedback, real expectations. No hype, no shortcuts, no excuses.

03
Built to Last

Train with intention, recover well, and keep showing up. That's the formula.

Human Performance Lab

In-person strength & performance coaching across LA

Most of my clients come in wanting to look better — leaner, stronger, more athletic. They stay because they can move without pain, train hard without getting wrecked the next day, and keep doing the things they love outside the gym — skiing, climbing, whatever your thing is. You get the aesthetics and a body that actually works.

  • Built around your goal — fat loss, strength, or getting back to an activity you love
  • "Muscle is metabolic": build lean muscle without bulk, and use it to drive fat loss
  • Prehab and rehab built in — train hard, move well, and don't leave every session wrecked
  • Real coaching and accountability — the reason clients actually show up and stick
  • In-person across West Hollywood, Hollywood, and Van Nuys

Grappling Strong

For grapplers who want their body to finally match their game

You've already put in the mat time — the technique, the reps, the hours rolling. Grappling Strong is the strength and conditioning built for what that actually demands: more left in the tank late in a hard round, a grip that holds, a back and shoulders built to last. Stronger everywhere it counts. Harder to stop.

  • Built for grapplers already training — wrestling, BJJ, no-gi
  • Online coaching — fits around your schedule
  • Strength & conditioning for gas tank, grip, and durability
  • Free first step: the 2-minute Grappling Strong Score quiz
  • Then the $97 Grappling Strong Program

Late.

"Most people slow down as they get older. I went the other direction."

I came to wrestling as an adult — later than most — and discovered something I didn't expect: the right training doesn't just build athletes, it builds resilience. It changes how you move, how you think, and how you show up in every area of life.

That experience is the foundation of everything I do as a coach. I know what it feels like to start something hard later in life. I know what it takes to keep improving when the easy choice is to coast. And I know how to build a body that doesn't just perform — it lasts.
