YOUR DEVELOPMENT IS MY PRIORITY.

I'm a former professional basketball player with years competing in Europe and earning a Division I scholarship in the U.S. Throughout my career, I battled injuries that forced me to rethink how I trained, moved, and recovered.

That journey led me deep into performance science—learning how to build a body that’s not just strong, but durable and explosive. Now, I help athletes do the same. My coaching combines elite training principles with firsthand experience, giving you a smarter process that will develop your skills, technique and athletic potential.

My approach is built on hard work, dedication, and accountability. Every session demands effort, focus, and consistency. Progress comes through repetition and the pursuit of excellence. No bullshit—just work.

NO TRICKS.

NO sHORTCUTS.

JUST work.
