Established 2007

The power and passion derived from choosing to be a personal trainer/coach has offered me a lifestyle that is very rewarding and full of adventure.  I choose to live my passion daily by working to improve my mind, body and soul. I feel in order to tap in to true wellness it must be something you work on constantly. I love guiding the power within others to reach goals they never would have thought possible. For the last 13 years I have loved everyday of my life as a personal trainer/teacher/guide/ role model and ultra runner. I am always learning and searching for better and more efficient techniques of achieving overall wellness. This is especially important in today’s society where people are over consumed with processed foods, lack of movement and stress. A healthy guide is necessary to get on track in order to gain the power from within. read more

Having been involved in sports since the day that I could, I was always interested in how I could become a better athlete. I had a few injuries that unfortunately shortened my wrestling and football career but having gone through those injuries allowed me to further my passion of becoming a better athlete. I learned a lot over those years about rehabilitation, corrective exercise and following the periodization principles for proper strength, power & speed development. It laid the foundation for the direction I would take my career and the beginning of Mountain Peak Fitness.

Its not just what is accomplished on the field or out on the road but how healthy we live our daily lives. By balancing out family, work and our pursuit of fitness, allows each day to be better. 

I do enjoy competition and there is a very competitive side to me but most times I just enjoy the freedom of what  strength I have gained over the years allows me to do. I enjoy venturing off on my own or with my wife in pursuit of PR’s that know one may ever know about. 

Having worked with many clients and athletes over the last 15+ years, ages ranging from 13, to the strong age of 85, I have gained a lot of inspiration and respect for the physical ability and mental strength that is in each of us. It’s not easy at times and nor should it be but with the right vision and guidance anything can be accomplished.
