I started Sweep the Sheds because I love training, helping athletes reach their goals, and partaking in a culture where everyone is excited to be. I am a competitive Olympic Weightlifter myself and am happy to spend all day watching folks Snatch, Clean & Jerk, and train for athleticism to improve in their sport. There were zero dedicated Weightlifting clubs in the area where lifters can practice their sport under a coach, with the right equipment, and around other lifters. Additionally, with all of the aspiring athletes in the area, I saw a need for a highly knowledgeable coach to teach athletes how to train for their sport while providing first-class leadership. Because of my many years as a championship winning college lacrosse coach, two-time national championship winning player, and having trained under multiple international level Weightlifting coaches, I understand well what athletes need out of a coach. In the same way that the sport coach is there to teach the game and guide athletes towards success, I teach proper strength and conditioning training and provide mentorship as athletes develop.

What really separates STS is our culture. In a world of intimidating gym spaces and hard-to-relate-to members and coaches, STS is a place where people feel valued, included, and safe to pursue the best version of themselves. Because athletic success has been important to me all my life, I created the type of culture and athletic development program that I'd want to be a part of. At STS, we value relationships, expertly coach to get results, and provide an environment that fosters enthusiasm for training. If you have a genuine volition to improve, want to be around great people, and are willing to contribute to a TEAM dynamic, you will find a home at Sweep the Sheds.
