About
I founded Bug Out Training to create something I couldn’t find elsewhere - a space where safety, authenticity, and personal growth is the core focus. After years of working in environments where I couldn’t serve people the way I felt called to, I knew I had to build something of my own. I wanted to empower people to feel strong, capable, and confident in their bodies and lives. My journey wasn’t traditional. I started in the legal field, but everything changed when I enlisted in the Army at the age of 26. I thought I was fit, but basic training quickly showed me what true physical readiness meant. That experience sparked a passion for fitness and wellness that has only grown stronger. Since then, I’ve explored various forms of movement and seen firsthand how it can bring joy, relieve stress, and build community. In my mid-30s, I left law behind to fully commit to helping others live healthier, more resilient lives. I wanted to be someone people looked forward to seeing - the person who helps them push past limits and achieve things they didn’t think were possible. That’s the spirit behind Bug Out Training and our motto: “Train for Life.” It’s not just about being at a healthy weight. It’s about being strong, capable, and prepared for whatever life throws your way. I understand the challenges of maintaining a healthy lifestyle - it’s a constantly evolving journey. But I also know the power of transformation and what it feels like to discover your own strength, both mental and physical. At Bug Out Training, I’m here to help you break through barriers and become the strongest version of yourself both inside and out.
