Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
We will clearly discuss your realistic goals and set up a clear path to get there. After that, it's just a matter of staying dedicated and having fun along the way.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have over a dozen training certification and 8 years experience as a trainer, coach and outdoor guide. I have also personally been a practicing martial arts for over 20 years.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
My typical pricing system is very straightforward. $50 per hour long session regardless of quantity. I generally do not work with clients who aren't willing to commit to at least one session per week.
How did you get started teaching?
I am a commercial helicopter pilot, and like most pilots, I found myself with plenty of free time when I wasn't in the air. Years ago, I got certified as a trainer and began training alongside my piloting career. After awhile, I decided to make training my primary career.
What types of students have you worked with?
All types, all abilities, all fitness ranges, all age groups. Special health considerations can be accommodated.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I love to travel and love the outdoors. I recently returned from South Africa, which was probably one of my favorite in the world. Amazing wildlife, breathtaking scenery, delicious food and wine and some of the friendliest people you'll find anywhere.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
If you are looking to find a trainer for fitness, make sure it's someone who will operate within your ability level. Most trainers only have one setting, No Pain No Gain. Unfortunately, that's not a sustainable approach if you want to be fit, healthy and happy your entire life. It leads to injury and burnout.
If you are looking for a trainer in boxing, kickboxing, Muay Thai or any martial art in general, you need to be even MORE selective. There are so many people out there who claim to be fight trainers who teach things that either aren't based in reality or will outright get you hurt FAST.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
What is it you want? Are you looking to improve your appearance? Your performance? The way you feel? What if you had to put them in order of importance? Also, keep in mind that the higher level of fitness you aspire to reach, the greater the sacrifice it will require in time, in dieting, in effort and yes, even in money. Sometimes it's best to set a more moderate goal for yourself and enjoy your life a little more.
