Michael is driven by a single goal: helping young people live healthier, fuller lives. As a Physical Education teacher and coach, he’s seen how a foundation of health unlocks a child’s or teen’s greatest potential. Passionate and dedicated, he’s committed to sharing practical strategies for wellness—especially with the next generation.

As a young athlete, Michael didn’t connect the dots between food, sleep, exercise, and mindset. Despite his talent, he struggled as a skinny teen lacking strength, confidence, and the mental edge to excel in sports, school, or life. Looking back, he’s certain that a structured program could have transformed his physical and mental health, propelling him to new heights. While he wishes he’d prioritized wellness sooner, Michael now channels that insight into guiding today’s youth toward better habits and brighter futures.

With over 20 years of experience, Michael brings a wealth of expertise to his work. He’s a certified Health Coach through the Primal Health Coach Institute, holds a Master’s in Positive Coaching Psychology from the University of Missouri, and earned a Bachelor’s in Kinesiology from San Jose State. A lifelong learner, he stays ahead of the curve through books, podcasts, blogs, and the daily lessons he gains from his students and peers.
