Owner/Founder | Head Coach | Tactical Athlete

-------------------

As a seasoned tactical athlete and Masters graduate in Exercise Science, I strive to bring both education and personal experience to the field of Tactical Strength and Conditioning.

My journey has encompassed 2 years of wild land firefighting, 2 years private contract advising the British Ministry of Defense and Chinese National Police Force on SAR operations, and 15 years of military service, including 5 deployments, 6 years in Naval special operations (SAR), 9 years Army infantry, and now Army Civil Affairs. This extensive background forms the bedrock of my passion for TSAC, rooted in personal experience and a profound understanding of the unique challenges faced by tactical athletes.

My coaching career has been 18 years in the making, and in that time I have nurtured a diverse range of athletes, from coaching youth sports teams, operating in the clinical environment, to working with individuals preparing for the rigorous demands of Army Special Forces Selection and Navy SEALs.
