A love for movement and team dynamics led me to the world of fitness early on. My curiosity and passion for learning have kept me focused on delivering the most current, effective approaches to health and wellness—both inside and outside the gym. As an early adopter of CrossFit in 2006, I joined the original gym and developed a deep appreciation for quality movement, small group training, and smart, functional programming—an approach suited for high-level athletes, beginners, and aging populations alike.

For over a decade, I had the privilege of coaching under CrossFit Santa Cruz owners Hollis, Danielle, and Laurie—leaders who are among the best in the field. An experience that shaped my coaching philosophy and strengthened my commitment to my athletes.

In August 2020, I took the leap and launched Swift Street Fitness, a small studio gym that has since grown into a strong and supportive community. And now, with SCG Fitness, we’re ready to expand that vision.

At SCG and Swift Street Fitness, we take a science-based approach to fitness rooted in functional movement, strength training, mobility, nutrition, and community. Coaching is my passion, but people are my purpose. I believe that health is a lifelong pursuit—and that we’re better when we pursue it together.
