Christian always knew he wanted a job where he can make a difference. Ten amazing years in the Marine Corps were great but it was time to serve his local community.

Shortly after finding his calling, he received his Kinesiology B.S. from San Francisco State University. As an ACE certified instructor, Christian wants nothing more than to be a part of a tight community that helps everyone be the best version of themselves through great programming and an emphasis on safety and fun. Empowered Fitness could not be a better fit! Christian's favorite component of fitness is pure unadulterated strength. He currently splits his active time between barbell work, getting his High Intensity Interval Training on, walking dogs, and forever running.
