I’ve been a personal trainer for over eight years, working with clients across a wide range of ages, goals, and experience levels. My background includes strength training, weight loss, muscle building, general fitness, and helping older adults improve their strength, stability, confidence in resistance training, and quality of life. Over the years, I’ve worked with complete beginners, experienced lifters, busy professionals, and clients who have achieved significant weight-loss and strength goals.

I earned my degree in Business Administration from the University of Maine and am an ACE Certified Personal Trainer with CPR and AED certifications. I’ve continued my education through Pre-Script and the work of Jordan Shallow, seminars and educational material from Mind Pump, and my own ongoing study of coaches and researchers in the strength and hypertrophy field, including Dr. Mike Israetel.

My training philosophy is built around fundamentals, proper technique, and steady, sustainable progress. I’ve had the opportunity to learn from professional athletes, nationally competitive powerlifters, bodybuilding competitors, experienced coaches, and other leaders in the fitness industry. Those experiences have reinforced one of the most important principles in how I coach: training should be strategic, individualized, and built around the person in front of me.

I believe fitness should be something you can sustain for life, not something that feels like punishment. Training should challenge you, but it should also be an investment in taking care of yourself. My goal is to help people build strength, confidence, and habits that make exercise feel like an act of self-care rather than something they have to suffer through.

Whether your goal is to lose weight, build muscle, get stronger, improve how you move, stay active and capable as you get older, or simply feel better in your own body, my job is to meet you where you are and help create a path you can realistically follow for the long term.
