The last program
you'll ever need to start.
Built for Nurses and busy professionals who are done with challenges and routines that don't fit their unique needs. 1:1 coaching, group coaching community, and training programs — from a nurse, coach, and movement enthusiast who lives this every day.
"He doesn't provide a quick fix, he helps you change your lifestyle. My only regret is not starting with him sooner."
— Matt, H2H ClientThe origin
A nurse who's been where you are.
At 16, I weighed 242 pounds. No roadmap, no coach, no idea where to start — just the realization that something had to change. What followed was 14 years of experimentation, education, and lived experience across nutrition science, strength and endurance training, recreational competition, and bedside nursing.
That journey didn't just change my body. It became the foundation of everything I now teach. I've competed in recreational powerlifting, finished a 100km ultramarathon, run the Philadelphia Marathon twice, and coached CrossFit at Penn State — while working bedside as a registered nurse.
I know what it means to build health around a demanding schedule, because I've never had the luxury of an easy one. Life never gets less busy. And the best time to get started is now.
The clinical lens
A Board Certified Nurse Coach brings clinical reasoning to behavior change — not just motivation, but the neuroscience and physiology behind why habits stick.
The athlete's standard
I hold myself to the same standards I hold my clients. I don't coach from theory — I coach from daily practice, current training, and real results.
The whole person
Nutrition, training, and habits are inseparable. We build all three simultaneously — because lasting change never comes from fixing just one variable.

Client results
Real people. Real change.
"I've known Mike for years and always admired his coaching abilities, work ethic and the genuine care he put into making people better versions of themselves. It's been 6 months of working with him and the results speak for themselves. I'm training harder than I did in my 20's. He doesn't provide a quick fix, he helps you change your lifestyle. My only regret is not starting with him sooner."
"I'm 48 years old and was a client of Mike's for 4 months. The changes in my strength and body were amazing — I finally had some muscle definition. With Mike's coaching I was able to increase my protein intake by leaps and bounds and completed my first 2 strict pull-ups!"
"Mike is a diligent, disciplined and open minded individual. Whether you are deep into your journey or at the very beginning, you receive individualized exercise and nutrition guidance. Equally as important is Mike's focus on helping you form habits and shift your mindset towards sustainable wellness."
"Mike helped me with the difficult task of gaining weight while maintaining my aerobic capacity. He provided me with a nutrition plan that went hand in hand with his program. It didn't only benefit how I looked in the mirror, but also my functional strength as well as I continued to do CrossFit several days a week."
"Coach Mike is the best. I have always struggled with the nutrition aspect of fitness and he made things easy. He was extremely knowledgeable, and his coaching style kept me motivated and consistent. I gained size and strength which was exactly my goal!"
"I always knew nutrition was important for gaining size and strength, but it wasn't until working with Mike that I felt dialed in. He helped me figure out my nutrition, and made me realize just how important it was."

Credentials
Built to do this.
I didn't stumble into coaching. Every credential, every race, every shift is part of a deliberate pursuit of understanding how the human body works — and how to get the most out of it under real-world conditions.
My clinical background as an RN gives me a lens that most coaches simply don't have: I understand physiology, pharmacology, the stress response, sleep architecture, and what chronic occupational stress does to the body over time. Combined with a Kinesiology degree and ongoing graduate study in Nutrition Sciences, the coaching I provide is grounded in evidence, not trends.
"My goal is to share what I've learned through education, accountability, and coaching — to help people achieve healthier lives and prove that a demanding schedule is a variable to plan around, not an excuse to accept."

Your wellness concierge.
Hey! I’m Mike,
As an RN and Nurse Coach, I understand the obstacles healthcare workers face in achieving a healthy lifestyle; long hours, stress, irregular schedules, unhealthy work culture, the list goes on.
Personally, I understand the challenges of maintaining a balanced lifestyle from my personal journey, as well as coaching others. At 16, I weighed 242 pounds. One day I had the realization I needed to course correct. Over the past 14 years, through exploring different diets, different ways of training, becoming a coach, and continuing education, I've developed my concept of a healthy life.
My ultimate goal is to share what I’ve learned through education, accountability, and coaching to help healthcare workers achieve healthier lives, and reshape the culture of our industry.
While healthcare culture is my focus, I work with clients from all walks of life. As a Nurse Coach, I address your wellness from a clinical background with a holistic framework. Whether you want to lose weight, gain muscle, pursue a new habit, or just learn how to properly take care of yourself, I’m your guy.
