Experience
Coach Dave has been working with clients for over 10 years helping them improve and maintain health through dietary guidance, personalized exercise, and hands on rehabilitation. Dave has worked with private clients, as well as professional athletic teams and their players to ensure the athletes performed at their best, including the Boston Celtics (NBA) and New England Revolution (MLS).
Personal Health Story
Dave grew up "healthy" and appeared to be the poster child for health on the outside. Internally, he had quietly developed a number of underlying health concerns including adrenal fatigue, H. Pylori, parasitic Infections, and toxic mold illness that were only uncovered through personalized lab testing as he began looking deeper into his health. Once he learned that a physically fit appearance did not reflect optimal health, he made it a priority to encourage clients to look beyond the surface and become more proactive about their health. His goal is to ensure that his clients not only look good on the outside, but build better health from the inside out.
