My story…
My career has never followed a straight line, and that’s exactly what’s shaped the way I coach today.
I’ve always been fascinated by one question: What allows people to perform at their best when the stakes are real?
I began my career in Division I athletics, coaching at Power Five programs before moving into the NFL with the San Francisco 49ers. I oversaw strength and conditioning, nutrition, rehabilitation, and sports science, helping athletes physically and cognitively prepare for the pressure of game day.
Over time, my curiosity pulled me beyond physical performance and into how people think, decide, and regulate themselves under stress. That led me into esports, where I became the VP of Performance at Infinite Esports & Entertainment. I built performance programs for world-class teams like OpTic Gaming, Evil Geniuses, and Astralis, and later supported software and research initiatives at Aim Labs that helped shape one of the largest and most successful cognitive-training platforms in the world.
What started in weight rooms and film rooms evolved into a broader exploration: understanding the mental, emotional, and systemic drivers of elite performance. That evolution now defines my work.
Today, I partner with CEOs, founders, producers, and leadership teams who operate in complex, high-stakes environments. I blend transformational coaching, cognitive and physical strategies, leadership development, and systems thinking to help them build clarity, regulate under pressure, communicate with precision, and expand their capacity for the long game.
I’m also a Partner at The Liminal Collective, where I help design experiential programs for high performers across business, sports, the military, and the creative arts.
Across every chapter, NFL sidelines, esports arenas, cyber units, and deal rooms, I’ve seen that great performance follows the same principles: self-awareness, disciplined thinking, and systems that support consistent execution. My work sits at the intersection of all three.
I live in Austin, Texas, where I recharge by cooking, discovering new music, and spending time in nature with my wife and our dog.
