Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from University of Illinois at Chicago
I am passionate about supporting humans in realizing their potential through a holistic approach to their overall health and growth, and I'm excited to work with kids on this utilizing my vast experiences over the past 15 years. I am also a competitive Pokémon Video Game Championships (VGC) player as well as a diehard fan for over 25 years. I currently stream Pokémon Scarlet Violet on Twitch several days a week. I also host a podcast as a way to connect to older Pokémon fans to explore issues affecting men’s overall well-being and ability to build and maintain fulfilling relationships. I have coached people of all ages in group fitness and team sports settings. My experience in Pokémon as a subject matter, Pokémon content creation, and up-to-date knowledge of competitive Pokémon make me a great facilitator of players looking to improve their skills in the game whether they are casual players or have dreams of competing.Reviews
