I have suffered injuries, acute and chronic, which have led me down the arduous path of seeking and eventually finding the advice and guidance of experts and then keenly implementing the processes to promote healing. One of these experts just so happens to be my wife and business partner, Caryn - a master clinician. I am an avid reader of clinical texts and maintain great interest in continued education on the subjects of back health and spine biomechanics, proper movement hygiene, and all things fitness and performance related. My continued interest in these relevant topics has kept me out of painful episodes for many years now. In hindsight, I am grateful because my times of suffering have become valuable opportunities to learn and become a better instructor. These lessons allow me to utilize those hard won tools so that I may seek to effectively impart this wisdom upon my clients.

In taking a holistic, bio-psycho-social outlook, I always tailor a custom approach on a client per client basis. Although my heart resonates with muscular development and strength training, I firmly believe that the fundamental principles of enhancing performance are transferable among all aspects of human movement - so long as they are guided by great coaching and the training routines rooted in appropriate, sound exercise programming.

On a more personal note, aside from interests within the health and fitness realm, I am a seasoned musician, having played professionally as a drummer since the age of 13. Music is one other aspect I hold dearly, as I believe it is an art form that exists with no other to compare. However, the great thing about competitive bodybuilding is that it allows for the combination of both artistic expressions on stage - aesthetic posing and music. Although I have been out of the professional music scene for some years now, I do still carve out time for occasional upkeep and skill maintenance behind the drums at my in-home practice studio.

What gives me the most joy and personal fulfillment in my career is the ability to work closely with individuals to bring about meaningful and measurable change within their lives. The countless ways and means of doing so is what makes my occupation so abundantly fascinating. I like to think of myself as a natural born teacher, as I have always found the process not only gratifying, but in a way, a learning experience in and of itself. The art of effective communication and interpersonal rapport building creates a better environment for the client and helps develop a practitioner who is truly trustworthy. This is who I am and the reputation I strive to maintain for each and every individual I work with. This is my branch of expertise and what I bring to every session. Welcome to Peaked Health.
