It all started in kindergarten when I joined a co-ed tee ball league. I immediately became aware of the focus on performance and developed a relentless self-requirement to always perform better with each practice and game. If I was benched, I had to do better. Coach yelled at me? Had to do better. Let a teammate down? Do better. Lost a game? I had to BE better.

Later I started swimming, then got into basketball, volleyball, and track & field. By age 12 I had already started lifting weights to support my identity as an athlete and to BE better. I eventually became a collegiate volleyball player, and although I was squatting 300lbs and cleaning 170lbs, I still only saw weightlifting as a tool to support my athletic performance.

Once I realized that becoming a professional athlete wasn’t in the cards for me, I retired from competitive sports and began meandering through the world of health and fitness using the foundation I’d built as an athlete to guide me. Over the last two decades in search of my life’s purpose, I’ve coached several sports of varying levels (tiny tots to collegiate teams), became a personal trainer, natural health & wellness coach, yoga & meditation instructor, and completed any health & fitness related certifications I could find.

Today, my goal is simple: to help humans live healthier and BE better. Boundless embodies my goal at its foundation, and I am here to keep supporting each and every individual in our community to BE their own version of better!
