“You can never conquer the mountain, you can only conquer yourself”
-Sir Edmund Hillary

I grew up in the Treasure Valley of Idaho, where my love for sport and the outdoors began early. From hiking the forested mountains of Idaho to exploring the red rock landscapes of Utah, and the towering heights of Wyoming and Colorado, I found my passion for adventure. Throughout these excursions, I constantly pushed the limits of my physical and mental capabilities—whether that meant scaling taller peaks, rappelling more daring cliffs, or navigating technical terrain on bike or ski.
As I grew stronger from these challenges, I realized that the mountains and competitive sports were only part of what shaped me. It was the people I surrounded myself with, those who provided love, encouragement, and service, that truly instilled in me a deep value for relationships. At Brigham Young University, I began studying the complexities of human relationships, diving into topics such as motivation, overcoming adversity, communication, all within the realm of human systems.
During my time at college, I sustained multiple concussions that resulted in me dropping out of school for about 8 months. Never did my experiences and education apply more than at this crucial time of recovery. Using skills previously developed and leaning on loved ones, I fought through gaining even deeper insight into the human experience, I learned to empathize with others in pain, how to persist through struggle, and most importantly how to have hope when the world seemed dark. Each of these skills have carried over serving me in all aspects of my life and I strive to teach these same skills to others.
Driven to teach others the transformative power of challenges and relationships, I discovered Sport Psychology. I have a Master's Degree in Sport and Exercise Psychology from Georgia Southern University.
I welcome all clients and I am actively seeking to work with young men 14 and up who are seeking to get out of their heads and improve their performance in practice and games.
I challenge athletes to take the next step in their evolution and sharpen their greatest asset— the mind.
