The Story
FROM THE FIELD
TO THE FACILITY.
I didn't get here from a weekend certificate. I played Division I football as a tight end at the University of Nevada, Reno — after earning the shot in the JUCO ranks at Snow College. I know exactly what it takes to balance elite physical performance with a brutal schedule, because I lived it: film study, two-a-days, and a full course load, all at the same time.
Then I went deeper than most coaches ever do. I earned my B.S. in Kinesiology from the University of Nevada School of Public Health, and earned a strength & conditioning internship in Nevada's Olympic S&C program — helping design and run programs for four NCAA Division I teams: Men's Basketball, Women's Golf, Women's Tennis, and the Ski Team. Working hands-on with high-profile athletes gave me a foundation most online coaches simply don't have.
Most online coaches have a certificate and a phone. I have a kinesiology degree, hands-on experience training D1 athletes, and a playing career of my own.
So when I build your plan, you're getting the same methods used to develop college athletes — performance testing, periodization on the NASM OPT model, technique coaching, and recovery that actually works — scaled to your body, your schedule, and your goals.
Because here's what I kept seeing: smart, driven people who could build a company or close a deal but couldn't crack their own health. Not because they were lazy — because nobody ever built them a system and held them to it. That's the entire reason DYCED exists.
