I Was You

I joined the Navy thinking I’d spend my life working on aircraft. Somewhere in the chaos of service, fatigue, and identity crisis... I found something deeper.

Fitness saved me.

I watched my own supervisor, just a few years from retirement, get discharged for failing weight and waistline standards. At the time, I was failing too. I was new to the Navy, but I learned fast. If you let your body go, everything else follows.

That’s when I found P90x.
I trained. I transformed. I started helping others.
Friends. Family. Coworkers.

Eventually, I became a Command Fitness Leader.
That role lit me up more than anything else I had ever done professionally.
It gave me purpose. Direction. A reason to show up strong.

Now I Help the Same Kind of People I Used to Guide Off FEP

I know what it feels like to look in the mirror and not recognize what you see. You used to be the lean, mean, mission-ready version of yourself.


Then life happened.


Family came in. You got promoted. You got out. You got the desk job.
And before you knew it, that edge started to fade.

You don’t need a supplement stack or a crash diet.


You need someone who will respectfully push your limits.
Someone who speaks your language.
Someone who knows the difference between intensity and recklessness.

If You’re a Veteran or Military Spouse Who’s Ready to Get Back to You

Let’s lock in.


This is coaching for people who still have that fire and just need the right system to bring it back.

I won’t hype you up with nonsense. I’ll guide you with precision.
Because I’ve lived it. And I’ve led it.

Food equals training
 You cannot out-train late-night takeout; fuel counts.

Consistency over intensity
 Twenty honest minutes every day beats one heroic session once a month.

Lifestyle over look
 Abs and arms arrive after the habits.

FAQs *

  • No. If you have a chair, a wall, and a little floor space, we can roll. Dumbbells and bands add options but they’re not mandatory.

  • Three guided workouts each week… plus tiny daily habits (mobility, walks, hydration) that keep momentum without stealing your schedule.

  • Yes. Every workout is written around the reality you give me. Hotel room, night shift, toddler naps—tell me the constraints and we adjust.

  • No guilt trips. We review what happened, tighten one small lever, and keep moving. Consistency is the goal… perfection is not.

  • Strength markers, movement quality, energy levels, and how your clothes fit. The app shows numbers, but the real win is feeling stronger in daily life.

  • I give you plate guidelines, protein targets, and habit cues. If you want a strict plan I’ll point you to a registered dietitian. My lane is coaching you to own your food choices, not spoon-feeding recipes you’ll never cook.

  • • All flex, no teaching.
    A feed that’s pure shirt-off selfies but never shows cues, demos, or educational posts is a red flag.

    • Supplement megaphone.
    If every story pushes fat-burner gummies or detox teas, they care more about commissions than coaching.

    • “Go till you puke” mindset.
    Bragging about crushing clients each session ignores recovery—the real driver of results.

    • No tempo or control cues.
    Real coaching explains tempo, rest, and why form beats load. “Just lift heavier” is performative noise.

    • Nerdsplains instead of making it simple.
    Fancy anatomy words with zero plain-English takeaway means they’re performing knowledge, not sharing it.

    • Quick-fix promises (“shred in 14 days”).
    Sustainable change takes measured effort; hype timelines rarely hold.

    • One-size PDFs, zero intake.
    If you receive a program without any questions about your goals, schedule, or injuries, it’s not coaching.

    How to vet—even if the coach is new

    1. Ask about their process.
      Do they run an intake, set targets, and adjust weekly? Experience grows, but process shows intent.

    2. Request a sample week that matches your gear and schedule. Cookie-cutter workouts are easy to spot.

    3. Look for education on sleep, nutrition, and recovery in language you understand.

    4. Test communication.
      Send one question—did they reply quickly and clearly?

    5. Check values alignment.
      Do they talk progress over performance, lifestyle over look? If their philosophy feels right, you’re on solid ground.
