About Me

My Story

The first 20 years of my adult life had been dedicated to pursuing and establishing my career in Emergency Medicine. I got to challenge myself intellectually while doing work that really helped people, and it was incredibly rewarding – I had my dream job.

Working in ERs in New York City, Baltimore, and California gave me the opportunity to treat a wide range of pathologies. The fast pace, high energy, and constant challenges kept me engaged for years. At the same time, my personal passion for fitness and nutrition grew as I was always trying to be the healthiest version of myself for my two little kids. I spent countless hours learning exactly how nutrition and strength training impact our susceptibility to – and trajectory of – nearly all chronic diseases.

Over time, prescribing medications to mitigate or suppress symptoms without addressing the root cause began to weigh on my conscience. I felt that I was doing a disservice to my patients. The ER, however, is not the place to address these issues – patients are rightfully focused on immediate concerns, and the fast-paced environment just doesn’t allow the time for meaningful education about long-term health changes.

I began to realize that providing the best care for patients means preventing them from becoming patients in the first place – so that’s what I set out to do.

I initially planned to continue working in the ER while coaching on the side, but over time it became undeniable that the healthcare system had fundamentally changed. Time pressures made it impossible to connect with my patients, which had been the most fulfilling part of my work, and I eventually decided that the ER was no longer the place for me.

Now, I combine my medical training and experience with certified expertise in fitness and nutrition to help clients take charge of their health.

My Coaching Principles

My coaching is built on three core principles:

Health and disease prevention are driven by muscle.

This is why strength, built through proper training and nutrition, is foundational to long-term health, resilience, and disease prevention.

Education creates autonomy.

When you understand what you’re doing and why it works, you’re able to make informed decisions, adapt over time, and sustain results independently.

Lasting change requires a trained mindset.

Building the thought patterns that support consistent progress is a skill that can be learned, practiced, and strengthened daily.
