I live for sport and have been fortunate enough to turn my passion into my career: As a sport scientist and former professional athlete my goal is to help athletes achieve success through maximizing their physical and mental potential.

 
I was born and raised in America and studied at Purdue University where I also played Division 1 football. After college I came to Germany where I continued my sport career as a professional in the German Football League. In 2011 I took part in a performance mentorship with Exos, after which I was able to hone my skills as a strength & conditioning coach at organizations including VfB Stuttgart, Stuttgarter Kickers, Stuttgart Scorpions, and Ajax Amsterdam.

In 2020 I built and managed Athletic Solution Center Bietigheim where I worked with teams including SGBBM Women’s Handball (1st League/ Champions League) and SGBBM Men’s Handball (2nd League)
As a strength and conditioning coach, my philosophy is to provide athletes with every possible opportunity to reach their highest potential. My goal is for my coaching to create growth and development opportunities not only for the athlete, but for the human being in all aspects of life. I aim to create and cultivate an atmosphere in which athletes feel comfortable to learn and ultimately hone their role as the main contributor to their own successes.

 
The pillars of my programming are evidence-based principles, effectiveness, and simplicity. My talent is applying science to individual and athlete-centric solutions.

 
I live with my wife and son in Stuttgart.
