Since I was a teenager I’ve loved fitness, nutrition, and health. I started personal training in college in 2005 and quickly realized the profound impact I could have by helping others discover their own strength and potential.

I changed my college major to Nutrition, continued studying for training certifications, began training high school and college athletes, and trained everyday folks looking to improve their health and fitness.

Since then, I’ve dedicated myself to constantly learning and evolving my approach to help people achieve fast both fast and long-term, sustainable results. I’ve found my passion lies in helping everyday people lose the last 10-30 pounds of stubborn fat that just never seems to go away. I understand how frustrating that can be, and I’ve developed proven strategies that go beyond quick fixes to create lasting change without completely overhauling your life.

I know firsthand when I found myself 30 pounds overweight. I was going through a hard time in my life and next thing I knew I didn’t recognize myself in the mirror anymore. Here I was a personal trainer and felt embarrassed like I was a fraud. How could I help others when I couldn’t help myself? That painful moment pushed me to uncover not just quick solutions, but lasting methods that tackle the underlying reasons we struggle to lose stubborn fat.

Finding What Finally Worked: My Personal Breakthrough

Refusing to stay stuck, I poured myself into researching the latest science and sought out mentorship from top experts in fat loss and metabolic health. I studied and experimented personally until I finally discovered a method that worked incredibly well.

I discovered a powerful combination that finally worked for me (and many many others): Intermittent Fasting, strategic macronutrient cycling, anti-inflammatory foods, and targeted exercise. This unique combination works so well because it helps optimize your fat-burning hormones, improve metabolic flexibility, and build lean, toned muscle.

My mood lifted significantly, my energy levels soared, and I felt a renewed vitality and enthusiasm for life that had been missing for too long. This wasn’t just about losing weight; it was about reclaiming my well-being.

My goal is to show you that losing those last few pounds isn’t about deprivation, but about making smart, consistent efforts that fit your life, leading to confidence and results you can maintain. If you’re tired of trying everything with no lasting success, I’m here to guide you with a personalized approach that targets that stubborn fat quickly yet sustainably.

If you’ve struggled with losing stubborn fat despite dieting and exercise, balancing fitness with a busy schedule from work or parenting, and feeling low energy, then you’re exactly who I help.

Since then, I’ve been personal training and nutrition coaching in the Napa Valley of California. I’ve had the privilege of working with a diverse range of individuals here in the Napa Valley, helping them achieve life-changing results. I’ve guided busy professionals in shedding their stubborn 10-30 pounds, helped moms regain their energy and strength, and trained young athletes to reach their full potential.

When I’m not training clients, you’ll usually find me hiking Napa trails, playing the local golf courses, or riding my bike along the Vine Trail. Napa Valley is renowned for its exceptional wine and delicious food, and thanks to the nutrition and workout strategies I teach, my clients and I can enjoy all the area has to offer while maintaining a lean, fit physique and a healthy lifestyle.

Seeing my clients achieve their weight loss goals, while also feeling more confident and energetic in their daily lives, is the most rewarding part of what I do. I’ve had the honor of helping them break through plateaus, finally lose the weight that felt impossible to budge, and make the process fun so it didn’t feel like work.

While I cherish the relationships I’ve built while training clients here in Napa Valley, I realized that the principles and strategies I’ve refined can help people facing similar struggles with stubborn fat, no matter where they live.
