A Bit About Me
I've spent the last decade in high-performance environments, coaching clients, leading teams, and serving in the Australian Defence Force. Throughout that time I've developed a deep interest in human performance, resilience, and the mindset required to overcome real challenges. Drawing on experience in fitness, leadership, and endurance sport, I help people build the physical and mental capacity to perform at their best.

I worked with Mikel in the fitness industry and under his leadership in 2017. Over 8 years he held roles including Personal Trainer, Group Fitness Coach and Sales Manager, contributing to club operations and leadership. He consistently demonstrated professionalism, initiative and coaching ability. Mikel later served in the Australian Defence Force, receiving recognition including a Commanding Officer Commendation. He completed Master Life Coaching certification on CBT and REBT principles. In 2024 I witnessed him complete a 100km ultramarathon. With over 35 years in the industry, I recognise in Mikel the discipline, professionalism and mindset associated with high-performance environments.
