Ready Renew You, Owner

I’ve been helping others improve their physical and mental wellness for more than twenty years. At college in Santa Barbara, I spent weekends climbing and hiking in the Los Padres National Forest. My personal and professional life collided when I joined a team using recreation to physically rehabilitate stroke, spinal cord, and brain injury patients. Now as a personal trainer and business owner, I help middle-aged professionals and retirees improve strength, endurance, mobility, and quality of life.

I grew up in Canada and spent enough time outside that it didn’t really feel like “being outside.” A good chunk of my childhood was camping out of the back of Mom’s blue Aerostar. I went on my first backpacking trip in Manitoba’s porcupine hills around age thirteen and I got the travel bug when I was nineteen. I’ve lived and worked in four countries. I’m a father, climber, adventure motorcyclist, and sociocultural anthropologist. I didn’t know I’d end up living in California when I got on the plane to Jakarta.
