I began honing my coaching skills in 2004 as an Apprentice Personal Trainer at a local health club. In the Fall of 2008 My Wife Tammyli and I began doing small group training classes in Prospect Park. We affiliated with CrossFit in October of 2010, becoming the 3rd Box (CrossFit gym) in Brooklyn.

Over the years I have worked with many different populations including: semi and professional athletes, geriatric, pediatric, amputees, paraplegic’s and a host of different auto immune disorders. I have gained a wealth of knowledge and can help you achieve your goals safely and efficiently.

I have been blessed to learn from or have been mentored by some of the greatest minds in the coaching world. In turn I have had the honor and privilege of mentoring many of the fitness industries finest trainers. I have been fortunate enough to coach at the Reebok CrossFit Games and had the chance to be a Judge at the CrossFit Games North East Regionals.

I program each workout performed at CrossFit 718 to be scalable and progressive. I obsess over every detail of every workout ensuring safety, fun and consistent results. I currently maintain a full roster coaching numerous individual athletes and classes every week. I’m constantly looking for opportunities to enhance my knowledge and increase the value of the services I provide. My philosophy is to always be learning and improving!
