Troy has two decades of experience as a coach, consultant, and mentor and over 10 years experience as a Functional Health Coach. He has studied under some of the leading strength and rehabilitation experts in the world. By applying the sciences of biomechanics, anatomy, physiology, motor learning and functional neurology, he performs individual assessments for clients and develops customized programs aimed at the enhancement of movement, function and athletic performance in the areas of sport, recreation, exercise, and work.
Troy overcame many challenges in his own athletic career, including a torn ACL and knee dislocation by the age of 20. During his personal transformation six years later, Troy got his body fat down from 25% to 8% and his waist down from 35+ to 24 inches in less than 8 months, after many years of inactivity.
