I believe that we all have a purpose to serve others, and for me, coaching is that calling. I chose the name “Valiant” because it embodies bravery and boldness—qualities that are essential when taking control of your physical, mental, and spiritual health.
My passion for helping others enhance their quality of life and self-confidence through fitness stems from my own experiences. Growing up feeling small and fragile, I discovered the transformative power of strength training in high school. My love for personal training started during a college internship, leading me to explore various avenues in fitness gaining experience teaching Bootcamp classes, working in a Physical Therapy Clinic, and Personal Training.
With nearly a decade of experience in the fitness and performance industry, I’ve had the privilege of working with thousands of clients, ranging in age from 14 to 70. I’ve helped clients navigate through pain, improve body composition, weight loss, and building strength. I also have experience training athletes in soccer, baseball, football, and lacrosse, both in and off season. Currently, I serve as the strength coach for the Cincinnati Lacrosse Academy.
My philosophy centers around creating an exceptional experience for my clients and athletes in the gym, focusing on enhancing human function, i.e. mobility, stability, power, strength, and conditioning. Every program I design is tailored specifically to your unique goals, ensuring a personalized approach to your fitness journey.
