Owner/Founder Control Lab Strength and Wellness

  • Helping clients achieve goals they once thought were out of reach is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do. Physical progress matters, but the real transformation happens when confidence grows and mindsets shift. That positive cycle of feeling stronger, more capable, and believing in yourself extends far beyond the gym. When the body moves, the brain grooves.

  • Either that I am an avid outdoor tent camper and enjoy going off the grid with my family when I can, or that I’m a master of killing houseflies with a dish towel. 

  • This is tough, but I have to say two: barbell hip thrust or any type of plank variation

  • If I could drink a Vietnamese iced coffee everyday I could, but day to day it’s a classic hot coffee with some type of creamer, right now it’s Chobani cookie dough creamer)
