Also know as “Coach Diesel” I’m an Austin native and strength coach with over a decade of experience working with clients in Austin, Texas. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Exercise & Sports Science (ESS) from Texas State University and have spent my career studying and applying principles of strength, conditioning, and human performance. My work has included Olympic weightlifting, CrossFit, and private personal training, and over time I’ve developed a strong belief that physical training and mental development are inseparable.
What fuels me most is working with people who are willing to improve their own lives. The decision to show up, take ownership, and strengthen their wellbeing — physically and mentally — is the foundation of everything I do. Coaching, for me, is about supporting that commitment and helping it translate into real, lasting change.
I also believe coaching is not a universal model. The right coach is someone you genuinely connect with, and not just someone who can sell you on a program. If we meet and it’s not the right fit, that’s completely okay. After more than 10 years in this industry, I’ve had the privilege of meeting many exceptional coaches, and I’m always happy to help connect you with someone who may be better suited for you.
