About
I build containers, not willpower
Milwaukee-based. Exercise physiology and psychology out of Marquette. Fifteen-plus years in health and human development.
I started as an ISSA-certified personal trainer at eighteen and spent eight years as a fitness coordinator at a nonprofit Native American health clinic, where I built a youth program and led elder strength and mobility classes. Former powerlifter, self-rehabbed from injury, moved toward a whole-person philosophy along the way.
More recently I have worked as a peer-support mentor for youth and adults. Same instinct as the coaching. Say the true thing plainly. Build the structure that holds. Make it repeatable.
The principles
Most of what I teach rolls up into a set of practices. They are grounded in research and set as an oracle deck, which makes them memorable and usable. Tarot here is a reflective framework, not fortune-telling.
- 01
Begin before you’re ready
Momentum is built from micro-actions, not motivation.
- 02
The first pause
A thirty-second somatic reset between the signal and the pull.
- 03
Boundaries that build
The most liberating structures are the ones you choose.
- 04
Mentorship & consistency
Reliability, repeated, is the actual superpower.
- 05
Hold the tension
Discomfort is directional data, not a stop sign.
- 06
Let the work teach you
Repetition becomes skill, and skill becomes identity.
- 07
Tiny notes, fuller days
Brief reflection expands time and strengthens memory.
- 08
Rebuild lightly
Lapses are events, not verdicts. There is always a path back.
I promise to show up like a teammate, not to have the answers. The work teaches us both.
How I work
And the music
I produce bass music in Ableton as NOSAJ. I care about the technical side almost as much as I care about the feeling, and get most of my ideas in the gym.
