Founder of Active Life & Architect of Live More, Hurt Less

I’m the founder of Active Life and the architect of Live More, Hurt Less—a movement built to help people stop chasing pain relief and start reclaiming the lives they were told to avoid.

From Pain Management to Identity Reclamation

Most people are taught that pain is a warning to do less. Avoid that lift. Skip that sport. Play it safe.

But that advice shrinks more than your activity—it shrinks your identity. The real damage isn’t just physical—it’s the loss of confidence, connection, and purpose that comes from building your life around avoiding discomfort.

At Active Life, we help people defy that narrative. Whether it’s the parent who can’t pick up their kid without pain or the former athlete told their best days are behind them, our programs help people move with confidence, return to what they love, and rebuild trust in their bodies—without surgery, painkillers, or “rest and hope.”

My Journey

My career began in 2005 as a personal trainer. I earned my Doctorate in Chiropractic from Northeast College of Health Sciences in 2009 and went on to own three CrossFit affiliates and a rehabilitation clinic, where I tested and proved what would become the Active Life method.

In 2018, I sold those businesses to bring Active Life to a global scale.

Along the way, I worked with Olympic medalists, CrossFit Games champions, elite executives, and leaders in health and fitness—all of whom wanted the same thing: to stop compromising on the life they knew they were capable of living.

The Mission

Since then, our team has helped tens of thousands of people who were stuck between a fitness industry that didn’t know how to keep them safe and a medical system that didn’t know how to keep them moving.

We quickly realized how great the demand was, and so we created the program to train the professionals who serve this audience.

Coaches, doctors, and trainers from around the world come to us to learn how to help people where fitness and healthcare both fall short. Teaching them isn’t a side mission—it’s the foundation of our impact. Because fixing the system means building the next generation of professionals who can lead it differently.

Beyond the Work

Most of all, I’m a proud husband and grateful father of four. I believe the most important thing we can do for the people who count on us is to show up strong, present, and whole.

If You’re Ready to Live More and Hurt Less—We’re Ready for You.
