My Story

I've spent over a decade learning how to train every kind of body — and I built Forged Home Fitness to bring all of it to your door.

It started with sport. I captained the men's tennis team at Endicott College while earning my Bachelor's in Exercise Science, then began my career coaching high school, college, and even Division I and professional athletes — learning how to build strength, speed, and resilience in people whose bodies are their livelihood.

From there I spent years leading fitness across MetroWest — thousands of group classes and private sessions for clients from age 10 to 85. Student athletes chasing a season. Busy professionals reclaiming their energy. And, more and more, seniors: hydrotherapy, strength, balance, and wellness work that gave people their confidence and independence back.

That's where I found my real edge. I got great at the clients most trainers avoid — people managing joint replacements, spinal stenosis, neuropathy, arthritis, osteoporosis, and rotator-cuff injuries — training them safely, around their medical picture, and watching them get stronger anyway.

"You should like your trainer, not love him." That's what I tell my clients. My job isn't to be your buddy — it's to get you results, safely, every single session.

In 2026 I launched Forged Home Fitness to bring that entire decade of range — athlete, adult, and senior — directly into people's homes across MetroWest, and into the senior-living communities I partner with. No gym. No intimidation. Just the right plan, delivered to you.

Every client starts with a real evaluation. Every program is built from scratch. And every session is measured — so your progress is something you can see, not just feel.
