Founder & Lead Coach – Self Elevated Academy 2019–Present I founded Self Elevated Academy to help individuals achieve sustainable transformation through mindset development, discipline, emotional resilience, and identity-based growth. I provide one-on-one coaching focused on clarity, accountability, and long-term change. My work supports clients navigating life transitions, personal growth, leadership development, and confidence building. Personal Trainer & Performance Coach 1990s–Present With over 30 years of experience in physical training and performance coaching, I’ve worked with clients ranging from beginners to athletes, and military contracting (USMC and USAF). My approach integrates mental conditioning, emotional regulation, and disciplined habits to support total personal development—not just physical results. Author & Thought Leader Published Author I am the author of multiple personal development and mind-focused books exploring identity, discipline, inner healing, and sustainable transformation. My writing distills decades of lived experience and coaching insight into practical frameworks that help readers unlearn limiting patterns, rebuilt self-leadership, and live with purpose and clarity. Professional Athlete & Mentor Former As a former professional mixed martial arts competitor, I developed first hand expertise in mental toughness, consistency, and performance under pressure. This experience informs my coaching style, allowing me to guide clients in building resilience, focus, and self-leadership in high-stress environments. Focus Areas Across Roles • Life coaching & mindset coaching • Personal development & identity growth • Accountability & habit formation • Emotional resilience & discipline • Performance under pressure Why This Matters My coaching is grounded in lived experience, not theory. I help clients create structure, clarity, and inner alignment so growth becomes sustainable—not forced.
