How I Got Here
At four, I played the piano and read most of the day.
At twelve, I saw Bodies: The Exhibition in New York City.
At fifteen, I met my father’s personal trainer. At eighteen, I hired my own. At nineteen, I competed in my first bodybuilding show.
At twenty-two, I went to Officer Candidate School for the United States Marine Corps.
At twenty-four, I worked in IT and systems management, learning how complex systems succeed—and how they fail.
At twenty-six, I completed yoga teacher training. At twenty-seven, Pilates teacher training. At twenty-eight, I entered my first Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu competition. At twenty-nine, I bought my first set of crystal singing bowls.
At thirty-two, I encountered my first tensegrity model.
And suddenly, years of seemingly unrelated experience began organizing themselves into a coherent whole.
I began asking a different question: How much of what had taken me decades to learn through my own body could I compress into something another person could learn in hours?
At thirty-three, I attended my first Functional Range Systems seminar and acquired language and methodology that helped me integrate athletic movement practice with personal training.
Meanwhile, I wasn’t observing the fitness industry from a classroom. I was working inside it—training clients, selling memberships, opening gyms, managing leads, cleaning facilities, building systems, solving problems and doing the unglamorous, boots-on-the-ground work that keeps a fitness business alive.
All of it led me to a surprisingly simple conclusion:
Your body is a skill.
And skills can be taught.
Today, I teach bodily control to anyone who wants to learn it, starting at $400 per person.
My goal is not to make people dependent on trainers. It is to compress decades of practice into an education they can take with them: how to articulate their joints, explore their available ranges, create tension intentionally, pay attention to physical feedback, and become increasingly competent at operating the body they already own.
I believe these fundamentals belong much earlier than adulthood. They belong in physical education.
Many of the physical problems we accept as inevitable are shaped not only by biology, but by the environments we’ve built: sedentary work, repetitive labour, limited movement exposure, unequal access to recreation and education, and economic systems that often require people to trade the use of their bodies for income without ever teaching them how to care for those bodies.
I can’t solve capitalism or patriarchy in a movement session.
But I can teach you to operate the body that has to live through them.
