Growing up in Minnesota among the great outdoors, I developed a love for sports and deep appreciation for the outdoors playing at some point in my life baseball, hockey, football and any other activity that's outside and included a ball. My passion for fitness was ignited through the camaraderie and teamwork I experienced while playing sports as a youth.
 

My professional journey has been shaped by a solid educational foundation. Constantly tapping into the latest research, I integrate innovative, evidence-based methods into my coaching. My approach focuses on building: 

​

• Solid Base: Emphasizing functional movement by starting from the root, ensuring clients can perform basic actions like picking up and putting down objects effectively.

• Movement Capacities: Focusing on key exercises such as squats, deadlifts, upper body push and pull, and hinge movements to build comprehensive strength.

• Internal Motivation: Ensuring clients enjoy their training sessions to foster consistency and long-term commitment to their health journey.

 

Personally, overcoming an injury that ended my own sports career and having to relearn normal body functions fueled my passion for helping others. This, combined with the grounding support of family, friends, and community gave me strength. That’s why I started Strong Roots Strength – to guide you, whether you're dealing with aches and pains, wanting to get stronger, or gearing up for a specific challenge.

 

Let's grow stronger together from the ground up,
