Train for longevity. Move with purpose. Stay on the mat forever.
I’m a lifelong mover; former gymnast, yogi, wilderness guide, martial artist, and co-founder of GMB Fitness. I hold multiple black belts and spent nearly 30 years living in Japan, immersed in the culture and traditions that continue to shape how I train, teach, and live.
My focus is helping people stay strong, capable, and pain-free for the long haul. That means strength, mobility, breathwork, and mindset. All grounded in real-world experience.
But this isn’t just about staying in shape. It’s about building a body and mind that can go the distance.
As Head Coach and Co-Founder of GMB Fitness, I’ve spent the last two decades creating practical programs that fit real lives. I help busy adults move with ease, build strength they can trust, and reclaim ownership of their bodies, without sacrificing time, energy, or purpose.
GMB has served over 119,000 clients worldwide and trained more than 125 coaches, all dedicated to making sustainable fitness a way of life. My work has taken me from training everyday people to collaborating with the FBI Hostage Rescue Team, equipping me with practical insights for solving real challenges under pressure.
I’ve earned four black belts (Judo, Kendo, Iaido, & Shorinji Kempo) and am currently a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. During my 28 years in Japan, I became fluent in the language and absorbed its deeper lessons. One principle guides everything I do: Shibumi, the pursuit of quiet, effortless mastery.
Through GMB and my project On The Mat Forever, my mission is simple: help people overcome limitations and stay in the game, on and off the mat, for as long as they choose.
