“The lives we touch shape the legacy we leave behind.”

Seven years ago, I found myself at a crossroads. After five relentless years of sacrificing my health and wellness to an all-consuming career, I was drained — physically, mentally, and emotionally. My energy was depleted, my body felt foreign, and I knew something had to change. That’s when I met Chris, and what followed was nothing short of life-changing. Or as Chris likes to spell it lyfe ; ) You’ll understand why if you decide to work with him! 

When I started working with Chris, I was at my lowest point in health and fitness. Fast forward seven years, and I’m reaching personal peaks I didn’t think were possible — not just in strength and endurance, but in mind, body, and soul. What makes Chris extraordinary isn’t just his knowledge or his methods — it’s his ability to meet you where you are while holding a higher vision for where you can go. He pushes you, yes, but he does it with precision, patience, and a deep respect for the journey.

Chris isn’t just a coach. He’s a mentor, a guide, a dear friend and, at times, a bit of a wizard. His approach blends strategy with intuition, always rooted in the larger picture of holistic well-being. Every session is a chance to grow, not just physically but mentally. His unique blend of focus and free-spirited curiosity has inspired me in ways I never expected. From nutrition to meditation to unconventional wisdom that seems to appear just when I need it most, Chris has opened my mind to concepts I might never have explored on my own.

One of the most impactful aspects of our work together has been nutrition. Each day — whether we’re training or not — I remain accountable to Chris for the food choices I make. Over the years, we’ve experimented with various diets to discover what works for my body. This process has been nothing short of transformative. It wasn’t just about changing what I ate; it was about understanding how food fuels energy, mood, and vitality. The shifts I’ve experienced in my energy levels have been profound — a feeling I didn’t think was possible as I aged.

What truly sets Chris apart, though, is his insatiable curiosity and love for learning. He doesn’t just train you — he teaches you. He doesn’t just guide you — he walks alongside you. This quality has cultivated not just a healthier version of myself but a deeply rooted friendship that I cherish to this day.

Working with Chris has been one of the most pivotal decisions of my life. He has been a steady, positive force in my world, holding me to a higher standard even when I couldn’t see it for myself. His approach to growth is one of discovery, not punishment — and that’s a rare gift in this space. If you’re looking for someone to transform your health, your habits, and, most importantly, your perspective, I can say with absolute certainty: Chris is that person.

Working with Chris over the past decade has been nothing short of extraordinary. To say he’s been a coach would be an understatement — he’s been a guide, a teacher, a family member and a catalyst for lasting change. His approach goes beyond expectations, tapping into the inner operating system of the body, mind, and soul.

Through our work together, Chris has helped us cultivate a deeper awareness of how to navigate stress with grace and master our energy levels. He’s shown us that true vitality doesn’t come from shortcuts or quick fixes — it comes from mindful, intentional choices, especially when it comes to nutrition. The way he connects these pieces is like weaving a tapestry where each thread plays a role in the bigger picture of well-being.

His guidance is both practical and profound, always rooted in a deep understanding of what it means to truly thrive. For anyone ready to step into the next, more empowered version of themselves — your 2.0 self — Chris is undoubtedly the person to help guide you there. He doesn’t just show you the path; he walks it with you. If you’re ready to level up, there’s no better partner for the journey.

I can’t express how grateful I am that you made the move from Maryland to NYC. Your presence in my life has been nothing short of transformational. You’ve guided me in ways I didn’t even know were possible, helping me tap into strengths I hadn’t yet discovered.

What sets you apart is the way you show up — fully, consistently, and with heart. Every session feels infused with your positive energy and unwavering support, and that energy has a way of becoming contagious. It’s not just the work we do together; it’s the way you hold space for growth, reflection, and progress.

Your influence has left an indelible mark on my journey, and for that, I am eternally grateful. Thank you for showing up with purpose, passion, and a genuine desire to see me thrive. Your impact is profound, and I’m better for it.

Working with Chris has been a profoundly different experience from any other coaches I’ve ever had in the past. His electric energy, wisdom, and unwavering commitment to my growth is unparalleled. From the very beginning, it felt like he wasn’t just coaching me — he was in it with me. This sense of shared purpose ignited a deeper sense of accountability within me. I wasn’t just striving for my goals alone — we were striving for them together.

Chris isn’t just a life coach; he’s a true mind, body, and soul guide. His approach goes beyond the norm, touching every aspect of optimal well-being. He has a way of seeing your potential before you see it yourself, and he knows exactly how to draw it out with care, patience, and precision. He doesn’t just push you — he sometimes sweats, meditates and does yoga classes with you, not just talking the talk, but also walking the walk. 

If you’re looking for someone to help you not only meet your goals but redefine what you believe is possible, I wholeheartedly recommend Chris. He’ll challenge you, support you, and inspire you all in the same moment. But here’s the catch — you have to meet him halfway. If you do, I promise you’ll experience results far beyond what you imagined. Chris will not just help you reach your goals — he’ll help you become someone who exceeds them
