I grew up playing sports and became a three-sport varsity athlete. My journey in fitness began in 1995 at Brigham Young University, where I studied athletic training and gained hands-on experience in physical therapy clinics. While I had the opportunity to work with top sports medicine doctors, I realized my true passion was in personal training and the meaningful difference I could make in people’s lives.

In 2008, I founded EXL Fitness & Performance to pioneer a new approach to training in Utah Valley—one that made professional coaching more accessible. My background allows me to specialize in the "gray area" of training, helping those whose injuries don't require formal physical therapy and guiding others from post-rehab back to full performance. At EXL, I've worked hard to create a science-driven environment where anyone ready to improve their health, restore mobility, and enhance their quality of life can thrive. To me, true success is measured in vitality: being able to do what you love with the people you love.
