About me

I wasn’t born an athlete. I built one—and you can too.

If you’re looking for a coach who grew up winning every race and lived in the gym from age five, you’re in the wrong place.

Growing up, fitness just wasn't "my thing." I didn't have the "athlete" label, and I certainly didn't have the bug. But everything changed when I discovered what training could actually do—not just for my body, but for my confidence and my life.

For the last 10+ years, I’ve been right where you are: balancing a demanding full-time career with a passion for the gym. I’ve navigated the 6:00 AM workouts, the late-night meal prep, and the struggle of staying consistent when life gets hectic.

I didn’t just study fitness; I lived it alongside a "real-life" schedule.

I founded Empower with EJ to help people like you cut through the noise. You don't need a "perfect" lifestyle to feel your best—you just need a plan that respects your time and your goals. I’m here to show you that becoming the best version of yourself isn't a hobby; it’s a standard you can maintain for life.
