"I feel self awareness is key in your success. I believe hiring a trainer is a great tool to get some insight from an outside perspective."

My professional journey:

My entire life my mother worked in athletic clubs and the fitness industry. I grew up in gyms.

This created my interest in being active. Growing up I was a five sport athlete (Hockey, Basketball, Football, Baseball, and Track) on top of that I was lifting and working out throughout my adolescence. I even worked in multiple positions inside a gym while still in high school. This gave me the insight that I didn’t agree with where the fitness industry was moving.

So instead I went to college and graduated with a degree in Law Enforcement, with an emphasis in Psychology. I was going to go help people in another way, outside of the gym. After some years within that career I was still not finding the purpose I was looking for. My passion and interests had always came back to helping people better themselves and improve their lives. That path of the fitness industry I spoke about had only gotten worse. So I created AOS Performance so I could help people the correct way, the effective way.

The AOS approach:

In a world where fad diets, false promises and quick fixes have divided wellness and fitness, how do you know where to turn?

The truth is that for true health, it’s going to harder and take longer than all of those ads are telling you. The great news is there is a solution that won’t still the yo-yo’ing and help you create a new lifestyle that is sustainable and scaleable. 

I created AOS Performance to un-blur the lines between wellness and fitness and to create a platform for truth.

When I first started my fitness career, I was part of the problem. I took the same reactive approach that keeps so many people in a battle with their overall health, instead of empowerment through proactive and preventive methods that leads people looking for quick fixes.

Forget everything you heard. There is no quick fix. I realize this may be hard to hear for some and that my message isn’t sexy. I’m not selling supplements or a magic pill.

The truth will set you free from all of that and together, we will create new patterns and growth that you can turn to even a decade or two later. I teach the fundamentals and while it’s a process, investing in educating yourself and improving your health now will pay dividends as you age. Using my knowledge and experience, we’ll create a compass for you that won’t leave you guessing and feeling prey to the latest fad.

There is no magic pill; but there is a magic process… it’s time to take a you turn. What is your desired outcome?
