Hi, welcome!
I aim to be one of the best, most complete coaches in the world. I’m obsessed with helping driven people reach their fullest potential.
As far as I know, I’m the only coach who has a Master’s Degree in Kinesiology with a focus in Sport and Exercise Psychology, is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, as well as a CrossFit Level 3 Coach. My niche is mental performance coaching as I believe mindset is the greatest determinant of success.
Over the last 18+ years I’ve coached some of the best athletes and top performers, including; 30+ CrossFit Games Athletes, National Champions, Triathletes, Military Service Members, Executives, Ultra Endurance Athletes, Entrepreneurs, Doctors, Coaches and thousands of others to major accomplishments.
I own Driven Mind (DrivenMindTraining.com) a peak performance company, and also currently serve as a 29029 Everesting Coach, an Ice Barrel Cold Exposure Head Coach and Director of Performance, a Certified XPT Breath Coach and a Mental Performance Subject Matter Expert for Power Monkey.
