Climbing is my passion, but I grew up as an athlete. I started cycling at age 12, and raced internationally for years in both Belgium and Australia. As a member of the US National Team, I had the opportunity to compete at Worlds. After leaving the world of cycling, I developed my love for climbing. I graduated from Liberty University with a Masters  in interdisciplinary studies with focuses in Exercise Science and Outdoor Leadership. Through my years at university, I also designed and managed the climbing facility, as well as coached the University Team. After graduating, I started taking on more clients to help them effectively reach their goals. All of this experience has helped me become the coach I am today. I have worked with people at every level of climbing and strength, and have seen great success in helping them achieve their goals.
