Elite Performance Coach. CSCS, OPEX CCP. Founder of Champion Living Fitness, the leading strength & conditioning program for rodeo athletes.I work with NFR qualifiers, world champions, and driven athletes across rodeo, hunting, and the western lifestyle, helping them build strength, resilience, and longevity in and out of the arena. The videos I share are a direct look into the training, mindset, and systems we use to perform at the highest level. My goal is to educate, challenge, and help you become stronger, more capable, and better prepared for whatever you’re chasing; whether that’s in the arena, backcountry hunts, or life.
