Who do you typically train?

My clients range anywhere from professional athletes looking for that off season insanity trying to get ready for their upcoming season all the way to business men and women who just want to stay in the sunny, Cali, beach-body state of mind! I have a special and unique style of training that’s suited for anyone and eveyone depending on what their overall goals are.

What does being a physical trainer mean to you?

As a trainer it is my goal to treat my clients as if they are family. That is how much I care about them because in my mind they are family and I want to do whatever it takes to show them how passionate and how much I care about them achieving the goals we set for them. At the end of the day that is truly why they are there and they take the time out of their busy lives to put the trust in me that I will get them to the level of fitness they desire. The day I wake up and do not want to be with a client I do not the feel the passion of sharing my advice, that is the day I move on and find another career.

What do you love about your work?

Knowing I am responsible for my clients well being and overall health makes every second of my job worth it. It is imperative to me to take on that responsiblity every second and shows how much trust and loyalty my clients have in me. To me, that is where I find most of my passion and what I love most about this job.

What’s the most inspiring story that you’ve helped one of your clients through?

When I finished my football career at the University of Utah I was introduced to a few young men who were playing high school football at the time. They came to me looking for help on the field so they could play and hopefully start their senior year on the varsity team, and so we began. It was a long and strenuous process for these men and they were not use to the intensity of training that I was throwing their way. At times they wanted to quit and at times they did not know if it was worth it. They broke through that barrier in their minds, focused, and became 100% committed to what we were training for. In the summer that we trained they both became stronger, faster and had a self confidence beyond anyone I have been around. It was a life changing experience for them and their families because they both went on to not only start their senior year but both earned full ride scholarships to play football at a divisison 2 school in Utah. Seeing the passion and excitement and the overall gratitude they showed me for what they had accomplished was the day I knew exactly what I wanted to continue to do with my career.

You created a special PLYO training for me, what is the benefit?

The benefit to my style of training is to keep your heart rate at a peek high while using muscle excursion at the same time. It is fast pace and strength training combined into a single circuit which is the most beneficial to one trying to burn fat and build muscle at the same time. It is very time efficient and gives you the most bang for your buck!

How does it speed up your metabolism?

The powerful and fast movements of plyos improve the speed of your nervous system which is very important in overall performance. It keeps your body guessing and your heart rate at a maximum which is key to maximizing metabolism and maintaining elasticity and the strength of tissues and muscles.

What pattern of daily eating do you recommend?

Every”body” reacts different to when, how much, and how often they eat. It fluctuates depending on the person and what their overall goal may be. Personally, I have found that smaller meals (about 5 a day) keep my energy running high all day and helps me maintain lean muscle mass. This is also goes hand in hand with constant water consumption which keeps the metabolism running on a fast motor all day long.

What’s your big vision for where you want to be?

I am exactly where I want to be in my career. I get to surround myself with people who are willing to let me teach them what I have created in my life long journey of fitness all day long, and it is an absolute blessing. In the end I want as many people to be able to share the love and interest that I have in changing their mind and bodies. Whether it is on a larger scale or teaching one person at a time, I will continue to spread the knowledge I have created.

Comparison showing performed brand photography versus authentic personal brand photos reflecting true identity

You got the photos back. They’re professionally lit. Perfectly composed. Technically flawless. But when you look at them, something feels wrong. That person in the images looks like you. Same face. Same features. But the energy is off. The presence doesn’t match. When you see those photos, you don’t think “that’s me.” You think “that’s […]

Editorial portrait of Elena Ghanzani expressing grounded confidence and brand authority

There’s a moment when someone stops holding back. Not loudly.Not dramatically. Quietly. That’s where Elena was when we began. The Moment Before the Shift Elena already had depth. Her thinking was clear.Her work was resonant.Her leadership was forming. But her visuals were still careful. They hinted at who she was becoming without fully letting her […]

Minimal editorial portrait expressing grounded presence and embodied alignment through soft light and stillness

TL;DR – What You’ll Learn in This Post There’s a feeling you recognize when it happens. Nothing is split.Nothing is rushed.Nothing is held back. Your thoughts, body, and actions move together. This is embodied coherence. What Embodied Coherence Really Is Embodied coherence isn’t intensity.It’s not confidence.It’s not motivation. It’s alignment in motion. What you feel […]

Five essential books for creatives about accessing creativity and creative living fundamentals

Most creativity books teach technique. Methods. Processes. Step-by-step systems. These five books teach something else. They teach how to be creative. How to access creativity. How to stay in creative practice. How to overcome what stops you. Not tactics. Fundamentals. The foundation everything else builds on. I return to these repeatedly. When stuck. When resistant. […]

There is a moment when your visuals stop keeping up with who you are. It’s subtle at first.Then it becomes obvious.

Your Work Has Evolved, But Your Images Have Not You’ve grown.Your thinking […]

Editorial portrait expressing identity alignment and embodied presence through Elevated Realism photography

TL;DR – What You’ll Learn in This Post Identity does not change in theory. It changes in contact. Growth happens when something internal meets reality.Not in thought.Not in intention. In experience.

Nicky Clinch founder Body-Mind Maturation teaching identity dissolution through transformational brand photography

Nicky Clinch teaches people to dissolve their identity. So when I suggested professional photography and styling, she resisted. “Isn’t this the opposite of what I teach?” Her work is about loosening attachment to identity. Mine is about making identity visible. The paradox was real. But here’s what she discovered: you can have an identity without […]

Professional coach photographed in a calm, editorial environment with natural light and grounded presence

TL;DR – What You’ll Learn in This Post Why Brand Photography Matters More for Coaches As a coach, you are the product. People are not buying information.They are buying clarity, trust, and emotional safety. Your imagery sets the tone before a single word is spoken. If your photos feel stiff, overproduced, or generic, it creates […]

Minimal editorial portrait expressing calm presence and embodied awareness through light and stillness

TL;DR – What You’ll Learn in This Post Imagination does not create reality. Presence does. Ideas live in the mind.Vision lives in the future.But reality responds only to what is here.

Editorial portrait of Peter Crone captured with calm presence and understated authority using Elevated Realism

The Challenge Peter’s […]

Evangeline Lilly authentic brand photography transformation from celebrity performance to spiritual teacher presence

About the Blogger

I was born in a low middle class conservative religious family in the suburbs of Seattle. Art was and always has been my passion, and more than that a way of life. Starting as a graphic designer, I taught myself photography, built a commercial/editorial business shooting for the worlds biggest brands like Nike, Coca-Cola, Adidas and more. I've also had the opportunity to photograph the world's biggest celebrities like Justin Bieber, Usher, Jessica Alba and more. I've curated a lifestyle around creativity and have learned a lot along the way which I get to share here.
