About
As a coach who cares deeply about the needs of my clients, I focus on reaching their goals through an evidence-based approach to optimize their results the most effective and efficient way possible. I prioritize proper mechanics and technique to all of my students, and in time increase the level of difficulty to ensure constant progression.
I enjoy changing lives for the better. I understand that we only have one body and one life to live, and if I am going to help someone maximze their years on this planet and optimize their way of living, then all the studying and preperation that I have done to get to me here has been worth it.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
The first step is assessing the student's level of fitness through a body composition, an overview of their health history, and a posture and dynamic analysis. We then thoroughly break down their personal goals and create a plan of attack to ensure quality and sustainable results.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a Performance Enhancement Specialist and Certified Personal Trainer through the National Academy of Sports Medicine, as well as a DBC Level 1 Biomechanics and Human Movement Certified Trainer.
I also have an extensive background training and competing in numerous sports such as football, soccer, track, boxing, and mixed martial arts.
How did you get started teaching?
I began my teaching experience my junior year of high school when I took on the role of a coach for my track team since our head coach was a police officer and constantly had to miss practice. We finished the season as League Champs.
From then on I began to coach mixed martial arts for a program called FCA, which provided free training to at-risk youth in the city of Santa Ana. Shortly after I started to work for the UFC Gym in Garden Grove as a boxing coach.
But because the only knowledge I had with coaching was my athletic experience, I began to study the biomechanics of the human movement system, corrective exercises, sports science, and proper nutrition to ensure that my clients not only reached their health goals, but that they did so effectively and efficiently without injury.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have a variety of students from different ages, to different backgrounds, and with different personal goals. Some of my clients desire to lose weight and/or gain muscle, while others seek to learn boxing as a means of self defense, fitness, or competition. Some of my clients are college athletes working to increase their performance on the field, and some are senior citizens looking to improve their quality and quantity of life. I also work at Westminster high school as the defensive backs position coach.
Depending on the clientele I’m working with, you can find me at different locations: the UFC Gym in Garden Grove, Repair Sports Institute in Huntington Beach, Athletic Republic in Santa Ana, and Westminster high school in Westminster.
