About Me

I’ve spent my life inside performance—first physically, then professionally, and now philosophically.

I started competing in gymnastics when I was eight years old and continued through my senior year of college. In 1985, I had the honor of competing at the NCAA Division I National Championships at the University of Nebraska, finishing among the top all-around competitors in the country. Those years of training taught me what discipline, precision, and recovery really mean. More importantly, they showed me that the human body isn’t something to be forced—it’s a system to be understood, respected, and guided.

After athletics, I earned my Master’s degree in Kinesiology and Health Promotion from Cal State Fullerton, diving deep into movement, physiology, and human performance. My athletic focus expanded too—I spent seven seasons racing triathlon, from sprint distances all the way to long course events. Each phase pushed me to learn how endurance, resilience, and recovery play out across different types of stress.

For over 35 years, I ran my own personal training and nutrition company, working with thousands of people—from elite performers to those rebuilding after illness, injury, or burnout. Over that time, I saw every trend imaginable: fads, quick fixes, and “miracle” solutions. Some worked for a while. Most didn’t. But the truth stayed the same: what works are the fundamentals—light, movement, environment, nourishment, timing, and recovery.

Now, at 62, I bring a long-view perspective that only time and experience can offer. My work today is about distilling what’s real—helping people cut through the noise, skip decades of trial and error, and reconnect with the foundations that allow the human body and spirit to function the way they were designed to.

That’s my mission:
to help you find your way back to the source—to live aligned with the natural rhythms that make you thrive.
