Bio
I studied Exercise Science and Nutrition at Appalachian State University. I also got involved with research in my department and the different fitness communities of Boone, NC. I learned so much in and outside the classroom. Everyday I was excited to have the opportunity to learn more about the subject that I loved so much.
During this time, I trained at a Crossfit gym for two full years. This gave me experience in olympic weightlifting, powerlifting, basic gymnastic movements, calisthenics, anaerobic training, aerobic training, and mobility training. After these two years of Crossfit training, I developed a passion for strength sports. I created Appalachian's Olympic Weightlifting club and directed two local weightlifting meets for the Appalachian community. I trained competitively for Olympic weightlifting for another 2 years. During this time I learned the importance of technique, mobility, and how to get STRONG.
After graduating Appalachian, I decided to try a new strength sport. For 16 weeks I prepared for my first NPC bodybuilding show, the Max Muscle Classic of Virginia. During these 16 weeks I lost a total of 40lbs! It was quite the humbling experience. My relationship with food, exercise, and reality were all tested. I learned how to manipulate my food intake to give the physique I always dreamed of having.
As you can tell, my training experiences have been very broad. My current training programs use techniques from all the different sports I have experience in. They are constantly evolving with research and results that I am coming across.
