Is David the right coach for you?

Best-fit clients.

David’s own coaching is intentionally limited. For most people, an Aegis coach is the better fit, and David is involved in every coach’s development weekly.

David works best with
  • Complex, multi-system health cases where several previous approaches have failed
  • Athletes pursuing pro cards or Olympia-level competition
  • Enhanced athletes who want to compete at the highest level with less damage
  • Clients who want to understand the reasoning behind every decision
Probably a better fit elsewhere at Aegis
  • Lifestyle goals: the Lifestyle team coaches to the same standard, starting at $300/mo
  • A first competitive prep: several Athletics coaches specialize in it
  • Anyone who mainly wants David’s name: the Aegis system is the product

Expertise and philosophy

How David thinks.

“If the goal is X, what variables influence X, and how do we use available resources intelligently, efficiently, and safely?”

David brought a data architect’s mindset into human physiology. He is not loyal to Eastern or Western approaches, to a nutrition system, or to a training philosophy. Each tool has a place, and the individual determines which is used.

He learned personally that advanced tools cannot replace sleep, recovery, whole nutrition, and healthy hormone pathways. That is why every Aegis plan, his own included, fixes the foundation before intensifying anything.

Before working together, I never truly felt taken care of as an athlete, and that was my top priority when looking for a new coach. We’ve done two shows together, and throughout both, I could rely on him completely, both in person and from afar.

My body fought me in all aspects. I was stuck in someone else’s body for years. Here I am, 45 lbs down total, and have just competed in what we’d call my most successful prep and show yet.
