My journey in the sports performance industry began in the summer of 2006. At 5’9” and 145 pounds, I was preparing for my final year of high school basketball and decided to commit fully to the weight room. That summer, I realized just how much your training can impact your performance. Even without proper knowledge or guidance, I was getting stronger and jumping higher—and I remember thinking, “Imagine what could happen if I actually knew what I was doing.”

That moment sparked a lifelong passion. I went on to earn a Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology with a concentration in Exercise and Sport Science from Temple University, where I also interned with the Head Strength and Conditioning Coach for the men’s basketball team. My hunger to help athletes unlock their full potential took root and hasn’t stopped growing since.

In 2011, I joined the Parisi Speed School in Fair Lawn, NJ as an intern. I quickly progressed to running sessions focused on speed, agility, and strength, and after graduating from Temple, I was hired full-time as a Performance Specialist. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of training hundreds of athletes—from youth to professional and world-class levels—and working directly with Parisi founder and CEO Bill Parisi as one of the Lead Programmers for the entire Parisi Network.

I hold a Master of Science in Performance Coaching, am a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) through the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA), and a Certified Nutrition Coach through Precision Nutrition (Pn1). These credentials reflect my commitment to continuously advancing my knowledge and delivering high-level coaching to every athlete I work with.

Every day, I strive to grow as a coach and leader. I’ve dedicated my career to helping individuals reach their full potential—physically, mentally, and beyond
