I have been involved in competitive powerlifting for nearly three years, during which I've achieved some pretty cool feats of strength! Getting stronger is incredibly rewarding, and I've added almost 200kg to my total in this time. My current best lifts include a 513lb squat, 319.6lb bench, and 617lb deadlift at 165lb bodyweight.

As a nationally competitive athlete, I've competed at Collegiate Nationals representing the University of Michigan and have competed at Raw Nationals in the Open division in both 2023 and 2024.

Coaching has been perhaps even more rewarding than competing in the sport itself. I maintain a small roster (~12 athletes) of powerlifting athletes, and I consider myself incredibly lucky to have earned the trust and respect of my athletes. Under the mentorship of my own coach, Matt Cronin, I believe I offer incredibly high-value coaching services.

While my roster is nearly full, I encourage anyone interested in coaching or with fitness-related questions to reach out!

Anyone who has stepped into the fitness space is well aware of how rare kindness and sensitivity can be amongst high-level athletes and people of influence. I intend to provide a fresh of breath air for those who are not driven by that type of energy but rather seek kindness.

With this in mind, I try my best to create avenues for philanthropy and giving (such as the Gains for Good project), use intentional choices in language to avoid fatphobic rhetoric, and treat everyone around me with respect and kindness.
