Five years out of college, I was serving as the Executive Director of an international non-profit in Mexico City. As we worked with national leaders to tackle some systemic issues, I couldn’t help but feel a burning desire to do more to help people. This didn’t naturally lead to the health and wellness industry, however. The amount of corruption and injustice I encountered rekindled a boyhood dream to serve as a Marine. So I enrolled in Officer Candidate School and became a Second Lieutenant.

While serving as a Marine demanded rigor and discipline, it didn’t provide much opportunity to help others. So after a short stint, I jumped back into civilian life uncertain of what to do next. A fellow Marine invited me to put my training to work as a personal trainer at a large gym in Denver, Colorado.

My long personal history with fitness combined with learned performance techniques paved the way for quick results. Within a few months, I had a full schedule and a list of clients with wonderful results. With their encouragement, I started Cross Fitness in Denver before moving it to Minneapolis

Over the years, Cross Fitness expanded to serve clients with a variety of fitness goals, which include older adult fitness, post-injury rehabilitation, athletic performance, brain health, and behavior change. I use evidence-based protocols and test for results. I’ve had the privilege of leading consulting engagements for several Fortune 500 companies, as well as competing and placing at the top of numerous physique competitions.

Today, I leverage artificial intelligence to develop and adapt programs for my clients’ unique needs. I look forward to helping you look, feel, and perform at your best.
