My Mission

My mission is to make the lifelong benefits of movement and exercise available to everyone, in a safe comfortable setting, so that people can be strong enough and flexible enough to live their everyday lives to the fullest.

Do what you can, not what you can't.

Why Train With Me

I have a lot of experience working with people in their training and making adjustments to that training based on both the results and experience of the workout. I will continue to strive to ensure that the program is customizable to the needs of the client. Even as needs change I can evaluate and adjust to keep the client moving in a way that makes sense to both of us.

My go-to workout

My go-to is a heavy 5 x 5 bench press for strength, and an uphill walk on the tread for cardio.

Healthy food I love

A chicken vegetable stew called 'Chicken Booyah' that was kind of a local dish where I grew up.

Healthy food I hate

I am not a fan of broccoli or cauliflower.

Client stories

"Before finding Kickoff, I wasted so much time sitting in my car at the gym trying to google the "best" workout for the day. Now I never fret over workouts - they're sent to me with clear instruction in the Kickoff app. Working with my trainer via text has been such a benefit. Having that accountability was key - I beat my goal by 10 lbs, losing 40 lbs before my wedding day!"
