PRG Oaks & PRG Malvern.

My passion is coaching and helping climbers do something they didn’t think they could ever do. With coaching, my specialty is technique and helping you move as efficiently as possible on the wall.
For climbers of all levels, genders, and ages….CLIMBING IS HARD! Understanding the fundamentals for technique are crucial for building good habits, improvement, and staying healthy. This goes all the way up to the highest level of climber. Whatever your climbing goal is, I can help you achieve it!

PRG Oaks
I am the Head Route Setter of PRG Oaks and the head coach of the competitive climbing team for Oaks. I specialize in lead climbing, but am adept at climbing instruction up to and including advanced techniques for both ropes and boulders.
I can help any climbers who are looking to improve their technical skills in various levels of expertise. Additionally, I can also help train conditioning for both boulders and routes.
Whether you are looking to get stronger, more technical, or be more mindful of your body while on the wall, I can help you reach your goals!

PRG Fishtown & PRG East Falls.
Private lessons are completely customized to the individual client’s needs, with a focus on understanding and developing technical mastery, identifying strengths and weaknesses and improving upon said weaknesses, goal setting, building and maintaining comprehensive training plans (which can be as intense or casual as the client would like), and climbing-specific fitness and injury prevention for all levels.
Whether you’re just beginning your climbing journey, stuck at a plateau, or training for a specific project, I can help you achieve your goals with a level of personalized instruction that is unmatched.
I’ve been climbing since 2018 and coaching since 2020, helping dozens of clients achieve their goals along the way.

PRG Fishtown.
Flexible for PRG East Falls.
I’ve been climbing for over a decade, but for the past few years I’ve been especially focused on physical training as an important component of progress. I’ll share my knowledge of various exercises and focus on cues that are most helpful for climbing and the areas that members/clients want to improve in. In addition to on wall progression, I am more than capable of providing training more generally geared towards strength or muscle growth
10+ years climbing, and ~3 years strength and hypertrophy training
