S&C COACH / PRO ATHLETE
Tested on the field.
Proven in the gym.
With over 10 years of experience in high-performance sport as a rugby athlete, playing for teams like the Manawatu Turbos, West Coast, and club teams in Ireland, I bring both practical knowledge and professional expertise to my role as a Strength & Conditioning Coach.
I’m still actively competing, which keeps me connected to the daily demands of training, performance, and recovery at a high level. Having been through the wringer myself, including a shoulder dislocation, collar bone removal, and PCL reconstruction, I deeply understand the reality of sports injuries.
"My passion for training goes beyond physical fitness: I believe it is a powerful tool to build not only a stronger body but also a healthier, more resilient mind."
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with a wide variety of clients, from amputees and stroke patients to professional athletes. Whether your focus is on overcoming an injury or preparing for your next sports season, I have the tools and experience to help you succeed.
Most training just focuses on: the mirror.

resilient mind.
