Leading Strength & Conditioning in Oregon: My Next Chapter with the NSCA

I'm honored to share that I've stepped into a new role as the Oregon State Director with the National Strength & Conditioning Association (NSCA). 

For those who don't know, the NSCA is the gold standard in the fitness industry. It brings together coaches, trainers, researchers, and educators to advance the profession of strength and conditioning. I don't take lightly the opportunity to help guide that mission here in Oregon. 

This role gives me the opportunity to:

• Connect professionals across the state who share a passion for making people stronger, both physically and mentally.
• Provide continuing education opportunities, including hosting events like the NSCA Oregon State Clinic next month in Bend.
• Advocate for inclusive fitness on a bigger stage, ensuring that our industry creates space and resources for people of all abilities. 

Over the past decade, through Specialty Athletic Training, I've seen firsthand how powerful strength training can be, especially for individuals who have been overlooked by the fitness industry. My Hope is to bring that same inclusive vision into the NSCA's work here in Oregon, connecting coaches and trainers from every corner of the state to share ideas, learn from each other, and raise the bar for the communities we serve.

I'm incredibly grateful for this opportunity and can't wait to see what we build together. If you're in Oregon and part of the strength and conditioning world, let's connect; Whether its at a clinic, over coffee, or on the training floor. 

Here's to growing stronger, together.
