My passions come from a desire to see each person succeed and transform into the best version of themselves, whether this be mental or physical. In college, I became more interested in the business behind sports, and knew with my history of training and passion for learning that I was destined to work in the fitness industry. While my primary focus of training is currently bodybuilding, I also enjoy working with sports-specific athletes and anybody willing to push themselves.
The first job in the sports and fitness industry that I held was working with the athletic department at CSU East Bay. From here, I went on to work for the San Francisco Giants with a focus on marketing and communications. Still, it wasn’t exactly what I was seeking and it wasn’t until I started working for Evogen Nutrition that I found what I wanted to do. As I continued working for one of the most applauded supplement companies, I also began gathering the necessary certifications to begin coaching. When COVID hit in 2020, I used my previous experience with selling fitness equipment to start my own business. Upset with seeing people being taken advantage of, I was able to assist friends and family with basic workout equipment and coaching to help them stay on track during lockdowns and quarantine. Later, I put the equipment business to the side and began coaching for a short time at one of the top supplement stores in the bay area. Soon after, I decided to take my business independent and online to be able to focus more on clients and growing as a coach.
Currently, my personal goals include becoming an IFBB pro in Men’s Physique while also working on my skills as a coach. I believe in striving to be the best version of yourself each and every day, and finding new ways to challenge yourself. Originally from Hawaii, I aim to share my aloha and help build up others through knowledge and motivation.
