ABOUT ME

I am a former world-class athlete and personal trainer based out of Palo Alto, CA. Prior to my career as a trainer, I ran at the international level, including placing fourth in the World Junior Track and Field Championships.

I graduated in the top 25 of my class at Stanford, where I studied Psychology and Neuroscience and earned the J.E. Wallace Sterling Scholastic Award. My training integrates my deep knowledge of behavior change and the nervous system to optimize performance and longevity.

After struggling with chronic pain myself, I began working with a personal trainer who truly changed my life, giving me the freedom to think and move with confidence and tenacity again. My profound transformation in mindset and performance motivated me to quit my job in health tech and pursue a career where I could do the same for others.

MY STYLE

I offer 1:1 concierge training based out of Evolution Trainers in Mountain View. Specialties include:

  • Neuropathic pain and rehabilitation

  • Skill-based lifting and biomechanics

  • Strength and conditioning

  • Coordination, balance, flexibility and corrective exercise

  • Individualized programming, goal-setting, and feedback

  • Comprehensive lifestyle and nutrition coaching

What makes me different?

 

Value,
not Volume

My goal is to deliver exceptional value to a select number of clients. I invest far more time, planning, and communication in each client outside of the typical hour session. Since I do not work for a commercial gym, I do not have the same incentive structure for maximum volume.

Education and
Applied Neurology

I bring an unmatched level of education and personal experience in the application of neurological principles to lifting, running, and overall fitness. All movement is controlled by the brain, and learning correct form and activation is key to building strength and resilience.

Elite
Environment

My partnership with Evolution allows me to pair the highest level service with a premier space, equipment, and a network of on-site professionals and services (e.g. massage therapists, PTs, chiropractors).
