My journey.

When I entered the UCLA Track and Field team as a freshman, I was certain I was going to the Olympics. Despite being the only men's walk-on in the 400m sprint group and having the slowest personal record, I was determined to turn my childhood dreams into reality. However, I was not prepared for the hurdles I would encounter along the way.

During my freshman year, the coach told me that I would be cut if I did not improve, stating, “walk-ons don’t get many chances to prove themselves here.” By the time I graduated from UCLA, I was a 2-time team captain, instructed with leading the direction of the sprint group; a 2-time Pac-12 finalist, an NCAA Championship Qualifier; and was granted a scholarship in my final year. After college, I continued running track ranking among the top 30 fastest hurdlers in the United States in 2017.

In 2020, I hung up the spikes and received a full scholarship to get my Master's Degree from UC Berkeley’s Goldman School of Public Policy.

From my athletic career to my academic and professional accomplishments, I have competed and performed on some of the highest and most competitive stages cultivating tools such as discipline, mindfulness, and habit formation. I now share these tools with the next generation of athletes to empower them to accomplish greatness.

Coaching

What is Coaching?

Consider yourself an architect wanting to build the life you have imagined. A coach will partner with you to not only create the blueprint, but also empower you to overcome the challenges and limiting beliefs that you will face in pursuit of bringing your dreams to fruition.

Am I ready for Coaching?

Do you feel stuck and unsure how to move forward? Are fear and limiting beliefs holding you back? Are you unsatisfied with the results you are producing? Do you have a vision but no clear plan? Do you lack direction and purpose? Am I willing to make a change to achieve the results I want?

If you answered yes to some of these questions, then you may be ready for coaching.

What can I expect from a Coaching session?

Every session is led by the client. I begin by reminding the client that everything said during the session is held in complete confidentiality and then allow them to determine the direction of the conversation. We end each session with some actionable steps to be taken, along with ensuring another session is on the calendar.

Speaking

Organizations, teams, or schools.

I would love to have the opportunity to speak to your organization, team, or school. Please see below for sample topics that I have spoken on in the past. If there is a topic of interest that is not seen below, do not hesitate to reach out.
