Growing up in Nashville, I always felt a deep connection to the community. It’s a city that thrives on culture, music, and the spirit of hard work. I was raised with those same values, and my journey into fitness has been a reflection of that. From my days at MTSU to training in Los Angeles and then returning home to help the people of Nashville achieve their health and fitness goals, my story is about perseverance, growth, and helping others find their strength.
Finding Purpose in Fitness
Fitness wasn’t always the career path I envisioned for myself. Like many, I struggled with finding my purpose in the early years. I was passionate about sports growing up, and that passion stayed with me through college at MTSU. But it wasn’t until I faced my own battles with health and fitness that I realized how transformative this journey could be—not just physically, but mentally and emotionally as well.
Nashville was my starting point, but it wasn’t where my journey ended.
Expanding My Expertise
After finishing my studies, I took a leap of faith and moved to Los Angeles. Why? Because I wanted to learn from the best, to challenge myself in an environment that would push my limits, and to return to Nashville as a better, more knowledgeable personal trainer.
LA wasn’t just about palm trees and beaches; it was an intense grind. I trained some of the most successful individuals in the world—actors, executives, and athletes who demanded excellence.
While I learned a lot about fitness, what truly stood out to me were the mindset shifts required to achieve lasting transformation. Most people knew how to exercise, but they didn’t understand how to sustain those results long-term. This gap is what inspired me to dive deeper into coaching, not just training. And that’s when everything changed.
Returning to Nashville
Despite the success I found in LA, something was missing. It wasn’t home. I realized that Nashville was where I wanted to build my legacy, to bring everything I had learned back to the place where my story began. I returned not just as a personal trainer but as someone with a renewed passion to help locals transform their lives—just as I had transformed my own.
Over the past 20 years, I’ve trained countless clients from all walks of life. From busy professionals over 35 looking to reclaim their health to couples in their 50s who want to enjoy their retirement in the best shape of their lives, I’ve seen it all. I’ve worked with people just like you—people who have achieved so much in their careers but feel their health is slipping through their fingers.
Why You’re Stuck
The most common pain points I see in my clients are:
Lack of Time: Between work, family, and social obligations, many people feel they don’t have the time to focus on their health.
Stalled Progress: You've been working out for months, but the scale isn’t moving, and your body isn’t changing. This is frustrating, especially when you’re giving it your all.
Inconsistent Motivation: One week, you're pumped to hit the gym, and the next week you’re back to skipping workouts.
Confusion with Nutrition: You might be eating clean, but are you eating the right way to achieve your goals?
These pain points are real, and I’ve experienced them myself. The truth is, getting in shape is not just about knowing what exercises to do. It’s about mindset, habits, and accountability—things that go far beyond a simple workout plan.
My Approach: More Than Just Training
I’m not just a personal trainer—I’m a coach. My goal is to help you achieve long-term success, not just short-term gains. Here's how I do it:
Customized Plans: Your goals are unique, and so should your plan be. I’ll design a workout and nutrition plan that fits your lifestyle and goals.
Mindset Shifts: Fitness starts in the mind. I’ll help you overcome mental barriers that have held you back for years.
Accountability: You don’t have to do this alone. With weekly check-ins, I’ll make sure you stay on track and adjust your plan as needed.
Holistic Focus: I believe in balance—physical, mental, and emotional. When all these areas are aligned, success is inevitable.
The Heroes I’ve Helped
I’ve had the privilege of helping many people in the Nashville area and beyond achieve their best selves. One client, Jonathan, was a 35-year-old lawyer who had lost his passion for life and fitness. He had tried every workout plan, every diet, but nothing stuck. After working together for 12 weeks, Jonathan not only dropped 30 pounds but also regained his confidence, discovered his love for fitness, and felt like a new man. He found his purpose through fitness, and that’s what this journey is all about.
Another client, a professional couple in their 50s, had built a thriving business but neglected their health for years. They were worried that poor health would rob them of enjoying the fruits of their hard work. In just 6 months, they regained their strength, improved their cardiovascular health, and now look forward to traveling and enjoying their retirement.
