Let me (re)introduce myself!

I am a Pain-Free Performance Specialist committed to helping you optimize your fitness and performance, even when faced with common pain, dysfunction, or injury. With over 20 years of experience with strength training & conditioning, I help you develop personalized strategies that prioritize your health and well-being.

While my expertise lies with clients recovering from surgery, injuries, or managing chronic illnesses, I also work with athletes—whether competitive or weekend warriors—seeking to enhance their sports performance. Additionally, I support individuals competing in powerlifting or bodybuilding competitions, as well as normal folks seeking to live a healthy life by prioritizing weight lifting.

I actively participate in local biking races, recently earning 3rd place at the Sturgis Mountain Bike Race Series. I have competed in Spartan obstacle course races, frequently placing in the top 10, and powerlifting competitions where I have set state records and most recently won first place at the 2024 Cloud Peak Classic deadlifting competition in Sheridan, Wyoming.

I live in Spearfish, SD, am fueled by plants, love anything outdoors, and am routinely involved with local community theatre as a director, choreographer, and actor. As a lifelong dancer, I understand the importance of balancing strength with mobility and flexibility. If I’m not at the gym or in nature, you’ll find me immersed in a good book or enjoying live music.
