We are
all athletes.
Where Coaching Meets Clinical Expertise
Field Performance was built for athletes who want more than cookie-cutter plans. We know that training isn’t just about putting in miles — it’s about understanding your body, preventing setbacks, and performing with confidence.
As endurance athletes ourselves, and with doctorate-level training in physical therapy and biomechanics, we bring a unique perspective to coaching. We help you balance training and recovery, so you can stay healthy while chasing your goals.
Core Values:
Science + Experience - Every plan is grounded in evidence and real-world training.
Health First - Performance matters, but not at the cost of breaking down.
Community Driven - We believe athletes thrive when they feel supported and connected.
Our Team
As a physical therapist, I have the privilege of helping athletes and individual succeed in their respected fields. As a specialist in sports rehabilitation, I understand that an individual's access to physical activity goes beyond just physical health.
I set out to create a community where individuals feel empowered to pursue their personal aspirations, whether that's completing a first 5K, hiking Everest, or performing at a professional level despite the demands of their daily lives. Most importantly, I want to ensure everyone has access to a holistic approach to mental and physical health through a thoughtfully designed exercise program.
What is my field?
I am a husband, entrepreneur, and endurance athlete with a passion for pushing my limits. I’ve participated in a variety of cycling events, from ultra-distance road cycling to technical mountain biking, and I have a background in running, specifically in 5Ks to half marathons. Strength training plays a key role in my regimen, helping me enhance performance and minimize injury risk.
For me, however, exercise is more than just about physical performance. It provides a much-needed pause from the fast pace of life, acting as a mental reset. When I’m consistent with my training and achieving my goals, I’m a better husband, a more focused professional, and a better human overall.
