I remember walking into PDX Muscle for my first time and being awe struck by the pictures on the wall and the old school blood and guts vibe. I instantly knew I found my new home and Ive been blessed to meet like minded individuals who have become family. 

Now I’ve been honored to take my years of personal training and coaching and have PDX be my home base for personal training. I believe fitness is the foundation for a healthy and successful life and I enjoy working with anyone seeking to uncover a higher version of themselves. 

Outside of personal training/online coaching I’m also a Wellness Specialist/Phlebotomist and would be happy to draw and analyze your blood work personally 

As a former collegiate athlete I developed the discipline of exercise and nutrition, to maintain a level ofFitness. But as I aged, I discovered that the exercise and nutrition that I apply for success at a younger man no longer works for what I need for today . I started Bodybuilding at the age of 50 first competition at 51 last competition age 70. I’m now 72 and my exercise style has changed,my metabolism changed and my endurance has changed, so I needed to make the adjustments to live a quality life . Now l work for functional movements, flexibility and strength. If you’re between the age of 50 to 80 you will find a motivating environment at PDX MUSCLE . No intimidation, just motivation and encouragement.

With seven years of experience as a personal trainer, I specialize in powerlifting and have a passion for coaching athletes to reach their fullest potential. As a competitive powerlifter myself, I hold multiple state records and have guided numerous athletes to achieve their own state and national records.

I am certified in several specialized areas, including Corrective Exercise, Pain-Free Performance, US Olympic Lifting, and Barbell Rehab Methods. My approach focuses on developing strength while prioritizing safety and proper movement mechanics. 

Whether you're a beginner or an experienced lifter, I'm here to help you elevate your performance and achieve your fitness goals .

Starting my fitness journey with a 100-pound weight loss, I became passionate about helping others transform their lives. With years of experience and having coached hundreds of clients aged 13 to 85, I enjoy helping people of all ages to improve strength, range of motion, joint health, and confidence. As an FRC-mobility specialist, I focus on creating sustainable, effective routines tailored to each client’s needs—whether for weight loss, mobility, or overall wellness.
