Since early childhood, athletic training and active living have been at the center of my life. Born and
raised in Mexico, I grew up playing soccer, reaching the Reserves level at Club America by age fifteen.
Not only did this expose me to a professional level of athletic training at an early age – it also sparked an
interest in coaching and teaching the most efficient and proper movements of the body that I’ve carried
with me to this day.
Before coming to New York, I lived in Jacksonville, Florida, where I worked in a sports program as
Assistant Director of Youth Development and as the head coach for a variety of levels and ages, from
four-year- olds to returning college players. This exciting and challenging work pushed me to develop
diversified and engaging training programs for children, adolescents, and adults, deepening in turn my
passion for individualization, shared goal setting, and growth.
In addition to my athletic background, I'm also a trained architect with a Master's of Architecture from
the University of Florida, where I taught intimate design workshops to undergraduates. It was there that
I established a strong faith in process, and the power to be gained by understanding it, in all its
successes and failures. I believe that process—the transformation of a shape, a body, or a person in
time—is a microcosm of our overall approach to personal goals, both physical and mental.
From architecture to personal training, the movement of bodies through space is a pivotal connector
between our daily lives and our ideal realities. It’s my goal to help you bridge that distance.
