Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Step one is a phone interview between either a parent of the athlete or the athlete him/herself and I.
The second step is an introduction and assessment workout. I look for the basics in the ability to squat, push, pull, jump, sprint, and change-in-direction as well as mobility.
The third step is developing a training plan focused on the athlete's goals and individual ability.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Twenty-five years of practice with the barbell and sport training to include Football, Track & Field, Powerlifting, Olympic Weightlifting, and Wrestling for myself and other athletes.

How did you get started teaching?
With a combination with a lifelong love of sport and training, becoming a coach was easy. I keep a white belt mentality - always learning - and I have found I learn more from failures than from success.

Youth and teen athletes looking to develop and improve their strength and speed.
I have worked with wrestlers, baseball players, Lacrosse players, basketball players, and soccer players.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Introducing a new athlete to the sport of powerlifting and coaching him to 4 state records and nationals qualification in his first meet.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
If you're looking for an step up in your game, you need a specialized coach in Strength & Conditioning who can complement your football program.
My advice is to be humble, act with urgency, and hold standards high.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
What are the outcome based goals that I want? Big picture and Small Picture.
Am I open minded to have a white belt mentality and see other opportunities as they are presented?
