The Foundation:
Real-World Experience meets Deep Practice
My approach is a unique blend of "street-level" stress management and high-level performance science:
-
Environmental Mastery: Decades in Philly’s hospitality and security industry taught me to read situations instantly and keep my nervous system in check under direct pressure.
-
The Internal Arts: I’ve spent my life practicing traditional Kung Fu and Qigong (Master Keith Mazza lineage) and have been a Certified Yoga Teacher since 2006. This is where I learned to bridge the gap between physical power and mental stillness.
-
Global Perspective: I’ve taken these practices to diverse environments around the world—from Haitian refugee camps to corporate headquarters in NYC. I’ve seen firsthand that whether you’re in a boardroom or a crisis zone, the need for a stable nervous system is the same.
-
Professional Backing: While my military service provided a foundation of discipline, my current expertise is backed by certifications as a UHP-Certified Personal Trainer and a Mental Health First Responder.
Signature Methods
Meditative Strength Training (MST)
We use kettlebells, calisthenics, and clubbells not just to build muscle, but as tools for a "Focus Lab." By combining modern strength training with deep Qigong breathwork, we train your mind to remain quiet while your body works hard.
​
Combat Yoga
This is a high-intensity, grounding method. I take the mindful movement of Yoga and infuse it with the rooted, stabilizing principles of my Kung Fu lineage. It’s designed to create systemic control—the kind of stability that keeps you from reacting impulsively when the pressure is on.
The 6-Week Inner Fortitude Intensive
Executives and high-performers don't have time for fluff. You need a system that works as hard as you do.
The 6-Week Intensive is our lead-in program. It’s a high-impact sprint designed to move you out of chronic burnout and into Conscious Command. Through MST and Vagal Toning, we recalibrate your nervous system so you can lead with clarity and sustain your performance for the next decade.
Stop surviving the stress.
Start mastering the system.
