About Me
I have been doing Parkour for 15 years at varying levels of success and intensity. I am drawn to the parkour maxim "Etre fort pour etre utile" - "Be strong to be useful" Before finding parkour I was physically weak and over the last 15 years I've been able to get in the best shape of my life. And while I still want to be useful I train to be healthy for my family and to help others on their fitness journey!
Aside from Parkour I do CrossFit and Judo. I routinely practice other martial arts and am training to hike the Grand Canyon from rim to rim! Each of these help fill out my movement diet.
When I'm not training I'm a lead software engineer where I coach my team members through tough technical problems and help them grow their technical skills. You can find me on instagram
Why Resolve Movement?
Why should you train with us? Mainly because I understand. I have a family, I have a job, and I struggle to find the time. I've been where you are now and I want to help. Parkour changed my life and continues to make it better everyday and I want to use Parkour and movement to make as many people's live better as I can.
When I take my child to the park I see three types of parents. The ones on their phones, the ones watching from the sidelines, and the very few that are on the playground or on the field with their children leading by example. My goal is to reverse the ratio. Sometimes you have to be on the phone, sometimes you just don't have the energy I get it. Still, I want to make a world where playing is the default and watching is the exception.
About Resolve Movement
Resolve movement is the start of something I have been working towards for years. I believe that movement, play, and parkour in particular have the ability to change people's lives! This isn't about weight loss or about looking a certain way it's about improving your day to day life.
Every day you are presented with choices. Should I eat out or cook? Should I go to bed or scroll instagram? Should I go outside or watch netflix? I don't want to take those choices away from anyone. I face those choices every day and guess what? Instagram, Netflix, and eating out all have their place. Resolve Movement is about giving you another opportunity to choose to go outside! An opportunity to choose play! An opportunity to choose movement!
Resolve to move!
