Private Lessons & Coaches in Mount Pleasant, WI

With 22 years in combat sports and athlete development, I bring the kind of experience you can't teach—you earn it. I competed exclusively in the super heavyweight division, finishing my amateur kickboxing career at 12-0 before turning professional, where I went 3-0 in kickboxing and 1-0 in professional boxing. Along the way, I earned three championship titles: TCB Illinois State Amateur Champion (1997), TBC Windy City Champion (1998), and TCB Midwest Champion (1999). Beyond my own competition history, coaching is where I’ve built my legacy. I’ve trained and cornered dozens of male and female athletes across boxing, kickboxing, and MMA, helping them build confidence, sharpen technique, and step into the ring prepared to win. My approach is equal parts technical detail, discipline, and mindset development—because a fighter’s body follows where their belief leads. I’m not here just to teach punches and kicks. I’m here to develop competitors, leaders, and resilient athletes who know how to push through, get better, and show up like champions.

"I hesitate to give constructive critique via message. As we know, words are not always interpreted as intended. That being said, here we go: I have worked with 4 personal trainers over the years. IMO you are the best. You know how the body works, what we should be feeing and where we should feel it. You have shown me that the smallest tweak can make the biggest difference. You’ve been through some things and you also know how the body doesn’t work (injuries) and you are careful about that. I like your training style and if I am not being challenged, neither of us is doing our best. Thank you for not swearing during our sessions. Please don’t tell me I’ve done something well, when I can feel I haven’t. False “kudos” are not appreciated. I understand we live in a time where everyone expects “good job” just for breathing, but when a person who is critical tells me my form/technique was good, I can believe them. Thank you for reminding me to “get out of my head”, but sometimes I need to step back for a minute; take a pause to reset. We’ve had some heated discussions and I’m fine with that as long as we come to an understanding by the end of the session. We play hard and a few clashes are to be expected as long as we have respect. I hope to meet the corporate people next time they come in. I will tell them how I appreciate your knowledge and workout advice. Sorry. Not so short.

Music has been my language for over 40 years. I teach guitarists ranging from beginners to advanced intermediate players. If you’re a guitarist who enjoys singing, I also offer instruction in vocal technique and accompaniment styles. As your coach, I can also be your advocate as you pursue live performance opportunities. Additionally, I teach Beginning Electric Bass and Beginning Piano. As a recording artist, my journey has taught me the nuances of musicianship and performance- from technical mastery to creative expression. Now, I guide aspiring musicians to help them find their unique voice. My teaching method is based on over 30 years as a professional guitarist and bassist with rock, jazz and folk music ensembles. I studied at the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music in the Jazz Performance Program. While at the conservatory, I also studied Jazz Aural Skills, Music Theory, Composing and Arranging, and Kodaly Musicianship Training. Additionally, I regularly attend continuing music education seminars to keep my skills and my approach to the teaching process fresh. I am a patient teacher who knows how to make music lessons fun. As your teacher, I can help you learn the basics of guitar playing and help you explore the musical styles you enjoy, introducing new songs and coaching you in developing your technique. I teach many beginning guitar students and my approach is to help you develop yourself as a musician on a weekly basis. My studio is in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, but I have a successful online/virtual studio with students in five different states.
