Strength Coach &
Pickleball Player.

I got into training when I was at South Carolina State University. At the time, I wanted to try out for the basketball team. I was always on the smaller side, so I started weight training because I wanted to get stronger.

When I came back home, my mom mentioned getting certified. I knew I wanted to learn more than just the basics, so I found the Swedish Institute and started taking training seriously.

What I enjoy most about coaching is seeing people grow. Getting stronger is part of it, but I also care about the relationship that gets built through training. A lot of my clients become more than just clients. They become people I genuinely care about.

My coaching style is challenging, but safe. I want to push you, but I also want the work to make sense for your body, your goals, and where you are right now. After a session, I want you to feel like you accomplished something and leave feeling better than when you walked in.

Pickleball became part of my coaching after I started working at a facility in Red Hook. I got hooked on playing and competing, and now I want to help other players improve too. For beginner and intermediate players, I focus on the fundamentals first: how you move, how you swing, and how you understand the game.

I currently have a 4.37 DUPR rating, but I don’t see that as something to brag about. It just reflects that I compete, I care about improving, and I understand what players are working toward.

Common Questions

Everything you need to know before booking your first session.

Training is structured around consistency, not random sessions. You'll train on a weekly schedule (1x, 2x, or 3x per week), with your time slot reserved so you're not scrambling week to week. Each session is planned around your goals, current ability, and how your body is feeling. As you progress, training evolves with you.
Most people don't struggle because they aren't motivated — they struggle because training becomes inconsistent. Monthly training creates structure, accountability, and momentum so you're not constantly restarting. Your sessions are scheduled weekly, your spot is held, and progress actually compounds over time.
Life happens — work, travel, family stuff. As long as you give notice, I'll do my best to reschedule your session or apply a rollover so you don't lose it. Same-day rescheduling is possible if an opening is available. No-shows without notice would count as a used session.
Rollovers are built in to help with occasional schedule disruptions. If you can't make a session and give proper notice, that session may be rolled over and used within the same month when scheduling allows. Rollovers are limited to keep training consistent and to protect reserved time slots.
Yes. Your training should fit your life — not the other way around. If your schedule, goals, or availability change, we can adjust your weekly training frequency going forward. No long-term contracts, just clear communication.
No long-term contracts. Training runs month to month. The goal is to build consistency because it works — not because you're locked in.
Sessions are held at a private training facility at 85 Livingston St, Downtown Brooklyn. The space is fully equipped and designed for focused, personalized training without the chaos of a crowded gym.
Yes. A large part of my work is with people who are either new to training or returning after time off. You don't need to be "in shape" to start — that's what training is for. Sessions are coached at your pace, with a focus on proper movement, building strength safely, and progressing in a way that makes sense for your body.
