About Mark

Built in the Corps.
Refined in the Classroom.

The Marine Corps taught me that transformation isn't about motivation — it's about systems, accountability, and showing up when it's hard. I turned that same discipline toward a PhD in Adult Education because I believe how you teach someone matters just as much as what you teach them.

I specialize in bodybuilding and hypertrophy-focused training for adults who are serious about building a physique they're proud of. I'm not the trainer who hands you a cookie-cutter plan and checks his phone. I program every session around your body, your goals, and where you are today — not where some app thinks you should be.

I also work extensively with clients on GLP-1 receptor agonists. Losing weight is only half the mission. If you're not building and preserving lean muscle during that process, you're leaving results on the table. That's where I come in.

Programming That Earns
Every Rep.

Hypertrophy & Bodybuilding

Periodized programs built around progressive overload, volume management, and the mind-muscle connection. Whether you're prepping for the stage or just want to look like you could.

GLP-1 Muscle Preservation

Custom resistance training and nutrition protocols designed to maximize lean mass retention and growth while on semaglutide, tirzepatide, or similar medications.

Specialized

1-on-1 Coaching

Full-service personal training with individualized programming, nutrition guidance, bi-weekly check-ins, and the kind of accountability that actually moves the needle.

Premium

Specialized Program

On GLP-1s? Let's Make Sure
You Keep the Muscle.

Resist the Muscle Loss

Up to 40% of weight lost on GLP-1s can be lean tissue. A targeted resistance program changes that equation dramatically.

Protein-Forward Nutrition

Appetite suppression makes every calorie count. I build meal plans that prioritize protein timing and quality to fuel muscle protein synthesis.

Progressive Overload, Adapted

Training intensity is calibrated to your energy levels, recovery capacity, and medication cycle so you build strength without burning out.

Body Composition Tracking

We track more than the scale — regular measurements, progress photos, and strength benchmarks tell the real story of your transformation.

My Philosophy

"I don't train people the way I was trained in the Marines.
I train them the way I wish I had been —
with science, with patience, and with a plan."

Twenty years of learning how adults actually change taught me one thing: you don't yell someone into a better body. You educate, empower, and then get out of the way.

Precision

Every set has a purpose. Nothing is arbitrary.

Education

You'll understand the why behind every decision.

Accountability

Firm, fair, and always in your corner.

Evidence-Based

Science first. Bro-science never.
