About Me

I moved to San Francisco in 2010 to study classical guitar. A couple of years in, I pivoted to my original passion as a strength coach.
Growing up, I played a variety of team and individual sports. The most recurring observation I made was how only specific populations seemed to be comfortable in the weight room. As I learned more about the vast benefits of strength training, I embarked on a journey to not only coach effectively, but encourage populations who traditionally wouldn’t be found in the gym. The result of that journey was founding my own strength training gym called SF Iron with the motto ‘Strength for All’. At SF Iron, we helped over 1500 individuals to thrive in the gym space.
Now, I’m taking that effort into the online space and want to help as many people as I can to own their training and shatter old stereotypes about strength training with a barbell.
