Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Estabilishing your goal is most important. After interviewing you and learning more about what it is you want to accomplish I gather all of the information you shared and come up with a plan that is sentsitive to your level of expertise, time, and comfort.
Communication and clarity are essential.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I possess over ten years of physical training experience. Through my experience training up for the U.S. Navy SEAL program, Spartan Races (all tiers), and ultra marathons (50-100 mile races) I have developed a wide variety of techniques to help novices excel to advanced levels of fitness, and coach those that are already fit in an effort to take them to another level of performance.
I hold a personal trainers certification, and have been trained in advanced biomechanics.

What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with individuals between the ages of 17 and 65.
I have worked with many clients simply looking to get their health and fitness in order, but also have experience training individuals for intensive events/careers: military, marathons, spartan races, etc..
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Ensure they have real-life experience, and are not fresh out of the text book. There is a lot that goes into properly training others, and many trainers/coaches tend to view their their clients as merely muscle and bone. There is so much more to consider than mere musculature.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
It's important to take note of the resources you have available when taking on a new goal, espeically if it is a resource intensive goal like endurace racing. Many times training for events like these requires a plentiful amount of healthy foods, and training gear. It is also important to consider how much time a day/week you are willing to spend on accomplishing your goal.
