I currently serve as an Adjunct Professor at Utah State University, teaching courses in Dynamic Fitness and Administration/Classroom Management. My teaching interests center on fitness, nutrition, and preparing future educators with effective classroom management and leadership skills. Beyond the classroom, I am an avid CrossFit competitor and coach, holding a CrossFit Level 1 certification. I have also coached swimming at San Diego State University, where I was part of the staff that helped the team win the Mountain West Conference Championship.
