I grew up in a family owned gym in Australia, one of eight kids where movement and discipline were a part of my everyday life. I played college football at San Diego State, and over the years I’ve worked with hundreds of clients across thousands of hours.

The work that shaped me most came from working with young men who needed more than a standard approach, including autistic teens. It required patience, presence, and a deeper level of attention.

That’s where this method was built.

I know what it feels like to be in your head, to feel off, lost, or without clear direction and not have the tools to navigate it. Spending years in those environments, while moving through my own version of that experience, changed the way I show up and the way I coach.

What I bring to the young men I work with now comes from that lived experience, alongside over 25 years in health and fitness, and a long-standing personal practice in mindfulness and somatic work, and time spent inside programs like UCLA PEERS.

Most of the young men I work with are introduced through a parent reaching out first.

The focus is simple: helping them become more grounded, more aware, and better equipped to handle what’s in front of them.
