Coaching Philosophy

While I was still in training for Ninja and Parkour, I began to show my friends and family the new skills I would attain. From there, I developed a passion for teaching. My philosophy is to stay passionate and pass it on to others.

Competitive Background

In parkour, I’ve competed nationally and internationally, making it to the finals of the World competition!

Ninja warrior, I’ve made it to worlds two years in a row during my competitive state.

Coaching Experience

At first, I freelanced as an outside coach for a few friends and a couple of customers. After a few years, I got hired to be a coach for my local YMCA; from there, I had an opportunity to work at Chelsea Piers and have been here ever since.

Most Memorable Sports Moment

I made it to Worlds for Parkour on my first attempt.
