Athlete Years
I grew up playing hockey from 3-23 years old and was blessed and disciplined enough to be on state championships, and nation championship winning teams. After achieving degrees in psychology and exercise science I moved to Los Angeles in 2006 to strive to start and operate my dream gyms. It took me about two years starting off personal training people and buying equipment with what I made to eventually open my first 10,000 sq foot facility.
I also found CrossFit during this time and for seven years I ranked among the top few hundred CrossFit athletes in the world, and for ten years I owned and ran gyms.
Competing taught me how far a body can go. Coaching taught me how to get the best performance out of people.
Getting more out of people pulls me toward everything else I study, teach and do.
Learning the Inside
Alongside the training, my first love is psychology and consciousness. I've spent years practicing meditation, breathwork, many forms of yoga and somatic work, along with older traditions most people never come across.
I'm drawn to anything that helps a person live a fuller, more complete life. Some of it is backed by decades of research. Some of it is ancient. I teach what I've tested on myself. And I teach to learn at a deeper level.
What I Teach Now:
Today my work runs in three lanes.
Longevity. We are able to make impact and create here on Earth as long as we are here. I am passionate about keeping people around and feeling good for as long as possible for them to continue being their greatest version of self.
Self-Expansion. Weekly somatic and psychological practices, short enough to fit a busy day, for a nervous system that can handle a full life.
Private Advisory. Twelve weeks one on one with me to increase your performance. For people who are already in motion and would like to refine and amplify.
Family
I'm married to Carolina, and we have a baby daughter. She changed how I think about this thing called life.
I used to train for the next competition. Now I train for the next forty years. I want to be the dad and eventually a grandfather who can still keep up when she's grown.
Wellness Legacy Club
Carolina and I also lead the Wellness Legacy Club, a community of people who share longevity products we all believe in and support each other every week. We are partnered with the most clinically studied supplement company on Earth. And we are honored to be able to serve.
If you're curious about what I take every day, or about building with us, please let me know your goals.
Where to Find Me:
I'm still a student. I learn in public and bring people along through my videos, my writing and the practices I teach.
"I feel it's important to support others to manifest their dreams into reality, because I'd like to live in everyone's dream world."
