ABOUT

MEET YOUR COACH

COACHING BUILT ON EXPERIENCE, DISCIPLINE, AND RESULTS

As a retired Air Force officer and aviator, I bring years of experience instructing, leading, and coaching others to Basement Barbell Strength Training. I’ve spent more than ten years training with Starting Strength principles, attended the Starting Strength Seminar, and have benefited from professional coaching myself. These experiences have shaped how I approach teaching strength and working with each individual client.

​

I believe you don’t have to be strong or experienced to start. My goal is to meet you where you are, teach you how to train correctly, and help you build strength progressively through one-on-one coaching. Whether you’re completely new to strength training or looking to become more capable, I’ll help you develop the skills, strength, and confidence to make measurable progress.

​

Start where you are. Learn to train correctly. Get stronger progressively. Build capability you can actually measure.

THE COACHING APPROACH

EVERY REP IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO IMPROVE.

Your lifts are coached, observed, corrected, and refined in real time. Progress comes from staying focused, listening to feedback, and applying it from rep to rep.

​

This approach helps you:

​

  • Develop proper technique

  • Understand the purpose of each movement

  • Build confidence under the bar

  • Create consistent training habits

  • Progress safely and effectively

  • Build strength that carries into everyday life

​

​

I continue to refine my coaching by applying the method, observing results, and improving how I communicate and teach the lifts.

​

The goal is simple: help you learn how to train correctly and build strength for the long term.
