Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
When working with someone new, the first thing I want to do is clearly define their goals. Some are interested in strictly the physical benefits of training. Others are more intrigued by the mental and emotional benefits. Of course not everyone falls neatly into any category. There are many shades of gray. However, once your goals are clearly stated, a suitable program can be created.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Fitness has been a big part of my life for the past 20 years. I began training in martial arts at the age of 18. I have experience in taekwondo, kung fu, boxing, MMA, and Krav Maga.

How did you get started teaching?
My teaching experience began simply with a few friends that asked to work out with me. I designed some basic weight training routines and they saw good results. Working at an occupational therapy clinic sparked an interest in formalizing my knowledge and I enrolled at the National Personal Training Institute in Vienna, VA.
Shortly before graduation, a new fighter at the MMA gym I trained at asked if I could help him clean up his diet. Being in charge of his nutrition gradually turned into me creating a strength and conditioning program for him. When our head coach unexpectedly closed the gym, I was then asked to be his head coach for an upcoming tournament. My friend won the tournament.
I remanined his coach for his next several fights until I prepared to move to California. After settling into my new home, I settled into a job involving finances. Unhappy with the work, I left to resume a career in fitness and martial arts.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with kids, working adults in a wide array of physical conditions, and competitive athletes.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
I'd advise every student to pick a teacher that will motivate them to push the limits. Pick a teacher that can clearly communicate what's expected of you.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
What do you really want out of your training?
Are you willing to sacrifice and humble yourself to get it?
