I started XFitness559 out of my home garage gym in Kingsburg because I saw a gap: youth athletes in this area had access to team practice, but not to real, individualized strength and speed training — the kind that actually separates good athletes from great ones. So I built it myself. Today I train athletes across baseball, softball, basketball, volleyball, soccer, golf, swimming, football, and water polo — plus adults training for themselves.
From the Diamond to the Platform
Before I was a bodybuilder, I was a ballplayer. I played baseball at Selma High School, earning a varsity spot my junior and senior year, and that's actually where this whole path started — I picked up weight training in high school to get stronger for the game. When my baseball career ended senior year, I didn't put the weights down. I redirected everything I'd built on the field into the weight room, and bodybuilding became the new competition.
That's the perspective I bring to coaching: I'm not someone who only knows the weight room. I know what it's like to be the athlete on the field, chasing a starting spot, trying to get faster and stronger for a specific sport — because I lived it first.

Off the Field
Outside of coaching, I'm a psychology student at California State University, Fresno, on the pre-med track. I work as an Emergency Medicine scribe at Kaweah Health, and I completed honors thesis research in the Cognitive & Educational Neuroscience Lab studying attention and time perception. I've also coached 3 seasons of youth baseball with KYBA, and I'm a competitive Brazilian Jiu Jitsu blue belt.
And on the competition stage, I train the way I coach: methodically, and for the long haul. I'm a natural bodybuilding competitor across the WNBF/INBF and INBA/PNBA federations, with multiple national-level podium finishes.
