Why work with me?

Education

After obtaining Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Exercise Science, I completed my PhD in Human Movement Science at UNC Chapel Hill. While pursuing my degrees, I completed extensive coursework related to movement, exercise, nutrition, metabolism, psychology, and behavior change.

Personal Experience

After competing in baseball, football, and wrestling in high school, I shifted my focus toward lifting. I previously held a USAPL state squat record in powerlifting, and I earned pro status in natural (drug-free) bodybuilding.

Coaching Experience

I've been coaching a variety of athletes since 2009. I got my start working with wrestlers, football players, and Special Olympics powerlifters. More recently, I've focused on helping people reach a wide range of fitness and wellness goals through my online coaching program.

Research

I've published over 50 peer-reviewed papers and a few book chapters. Most of my research focuses on practical strategies to help people get bigger, stronger, leaner, healthier, or more athletic. I am currently conducting metabolism research at Duke University.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What types of clients do you work with?

    My experience as a coach and athlete is very broad. As a result, I work with a wide range of clients with goals including:


    Weight loss

    Muscle building

    General fitness/wellness

    Strength competitions

    Physique competitions

    Endurance competitions


    When you apply for coaching, I read your application very closely to make sure we're a great fit. Then, we schedule an introductory call to be even more sure that we're a great fit. If I'm not the right coach for you, I'll happily recommend a different coach who might be a better fit for you.

  • What are your credentials?

    It's important to note that I am not a medical doctor or registered dietitian. My coaching services are intended to support your goals pertaining to fitness and wellness, but they are not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any disease or medical condition.


    I hold certifications through the National Strength and Conditioning Association (CSCS*D) and the International Society of Sports Nutrition (CISSN). I've also completed extensive research and/or coursework related to exercise, nutrition, and health behavior.

  • Do your programs include cardio, or lifting only?

    My programs are 100% customized to your individual needs and preferences. So, some contain cardio, and some do not.

  • Do you create meal plans that tell me exactly what to eat every meal?

    I do not. When it comes to nutrition guidance and education, my aim is to help you build skills and knowledge. This ensures that you'll continue to succeed long after time working together comes to an end.


    So, rather than giving you a meal plan, I teach you how to eat in accordance with your goals, priorities, and preferences. It's a valuable set of skills and knowledge that you'll retain for a lifetime.

  • Do I have to track my calories or macros?

    Not necessarily.


    My coaching approach is 100% customized to meet the needs of each client. Based on your goals and preferences, we may utilize calorie tracking, macro tracking, mindful eating, intuitive eating, a combination, or none of the above!

  • Do you offer partial services, like training only or nutrition only?

    I do not.


    I take a very comprehensive approach to coaching, which goes far beyond providing a basic workout plan or a set of macronutrient targets. All of the "pieces" of the program fit together, and changing one element can impact all others.


    Having said that, my emphasis is a little different with each client. Some clients almost exclusively focus on exercise, some almost exclusively focus on nutrition, and some emphasize both equally. Others clients are primarily focused on accountability, behavior change, or other forms of guidance and support. Ultimately, your service will be tailored to your goals, needs, and priorities.


    I am also happy to provide services that are complementary to another coach or service provider. For example, if you'd like me to provide training guidance while you receive nutrition support from a dietitian, I'm more than happy to accommodate that type of request.
