D1 rower & surf coach helping athletes build strength, technique, and confidence
I'm a multi-sport athlete with 5 years of competitive rowing experience, including time at the D1 collegiate level. I've also spent years in the water as a surfer and surf coach, working with athletes ages 10–20 to build water confidence, technique, and endurance. On top of that, I've trained with weights nearly every day for the past 5 years and have developed a deep understanding of strength and conditioning. Whether you're looking to get stronger, improve your athleticism, or learn a new sport, I bring real competitive experience and genuine passion for helping people grow. I work with athletes of all ages and backgrounds, and I meet every athlete where they are.

About Me:
I'm a multi-sport athlete and coach with a passion for helping young people discover what they're capable of. I grew up competing seriously in rowing and surfing, and I've spent years in the weight room developing my own strength and conditioning. I love sports not just for the competition, but for what they teach you about yourself — and that's what I try to pass on to every athlete I work with.
How I can help you improve your game:
Whether you're trying to get stronger, build water confidence, improve your rowing technique, or just become a more well-rounded athlete, I bring real competitive experience to every session. I've trained in multiple disciplines and understand what it takes to develop athletically — I'll help you identify your weaknesses, build on your strengths, and push past what you thought was possible.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Sessions are structured but flexible depending on the athlete's goals. We'll usually start with a warm-up and brief check-in, then move into skill work or sport-specific drills, and finish with conditioning or strength work as needed. I always explain the "why" behind each exercise so athletes understand what we're building toward. No two sessions are identical — I adjust based on how the athlete is feeling that day.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I competed in rowing at the D1 collegiate level and have been an active surfer and surf coach for several years, working with athletes ages 10–20. I've also trained consistently with weights for 5+ years, giving me a solid foundation in strength and conditioning principles. My background spans multiple disciplines, which gives me a unique perspective on athletic development.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had was Coach Skip at Marin Rowing Association in high school. He was professional, deeply knowledgeable, and commanded respect without ever having to ask for it. What stood out most was how composed he stayed under pressure — he took the sport seriously, held high standards, and didn't have time for distractions. He showed me what real coaching looks like, and a lot of that has stuck with me.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I'm patient, energetic, and genuinely invested in every athlete I work with. I meet athletes where they are — not where I expect them to be — and I create a positive, low-pressure environment where it's okay to struggle and make mistakes. Parents can expect clear communication and consistency. I show up prepared, I take safety seriously, and I truly care about the long-term growth of every kid I coach, not just their performance in a single session.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I contact a coach?
If you’re looking to message a coach for the first time, go to their profile and click “Send a Message”. A type box will show, where you can enter and send your message. To follow up with a coach you've already contacted, log into your account and find the 'Inbox' tab. You'll see your message history and be able to send another note.
How do I book lessons?
Once you find a coach that fits your needs, go to their profile, select the package you'd like to purchase, and click 'Book Lessons'. Here, you can reserve your desired number of lessons along with the number of athletes who will be training. After sessions are booked, coordinate the dates/times for each session on your calendar - using the calendar is important since this is how your coach will get paid.
Can I pay my coach via Venmo or cash?
Paying AU coaches via cash, Venmo, or any 3rd party is strictly prohibited. AU coaches know this, but their partnership with us is to split all bookings 80/20 - so coaches keep 80%. We use our 20% to help them find clients & manage their business. Without the split, we wouldn't be able to help our coaches & community thrive!
What if I don't feel comfortable paying online?
We integrate with Stripe - the largest & most secure payment processor in the US - to facilitate bookings. Paying online is required, and it simplifies the process for our coaches since it helps track their schedule & earnings in one place. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our support team.
Where will the coach hold their lessons?
Each coach typically has at least one preferred training location. You can see the location(s) by going to your coach's profile and finding the 'Training Locations' section. If a coach doesn't have locations listed here, you can message the coach to see where they train. Some coaches are willing to travel to clients for lessons, or even meet halfway.
When is the coach available to train?
Each coach sets their own schedule for training. You can see a coach's general availability by going to their profile and finding the 'Availability' section - it will list the days and times. If a coach doesn't post their availability, or if your preferred coach doesn't have your desired times available but you want to double check, message them to see if they can work with your schedule.
How do rescheduling, cancellations, and lesson credits work?
Good Fit Guarantee — If your first lesson isn't the right fit, we'll move your lesson credit to a new coach. No hassle.
Easy rescheduling — Cancel or reschedule up to 4 hours before a lesson, no questions asked.
Coach no-shows — You'll be fully credited and we'll help you find a replacement.
Flexible credits — Unused lessons last 12 months and can be used with any coach on the platform.

Do coaches work with both kids & adults?
Our coaches are open to helping athletes of any age and skill level. Please message your desired coach to ensure their skillset fits your needs.
Why should I trust AU and their coaches over other platforms?
AU was created by former college and pro athletes. We understand the benefits of training with a private coach. It develops discipline, boosts confidence, and provides an undeniable advantage - whether you are just learning the game or looking to earn a college scholarship. All AU coaches are required to pass a thorough onboarding process + background check, so you can trust you're training with the best.
At the end of the day, our mission is to provide athletes with better opportunities to succeed through coaching. You won't find a platform, and group of dedicated specialists, more excited to help you achieve your athletic goals!
