“Mikey” came to Utah from Grand Rapids, Michigan to earn his degree in kinesiology while indulging his passion for rock climbing, which he has coached since 2016. While rock climbing’s mental and physical challenges make it one of Mikey’s favorite sports, he has also enjoyed a variety of others, including football, diving, and quidditch.
While earning his degree, Mikey built experience working as a trainer and group fitness instructor at a nearby gym. He later transitioned into an internship at Age Performance, which became a full-time role as a personal trainer upon his graduation.
Today, Mikey enjoys working with older adults to improve their quality of life through better movement, mobility, and strength. He continues to rock climb in his free time.
