For more than 25 years, I’ve worked with men and women who want to stay strong, capable, energized, and fully engaged in life — especially as they move through their 40s, 50s, 60s, and beyond.

I started my career as a personal trainer in 1998, long before “biohacking” became a buzzword and before most people were talking about the role strength, nutrition, hormones, recovery, metabolic health, and biomarkers play in how we age.

Over the years, one thing became clear: what worked for you in your 20s and 30s doesn’t always work the same way after 40.

You can’t simply eat less, train harder, sleep less, and expect your body to keep cooperating.

The goal has to change from chasing a number on the scale to building a body and a life that continues to perform.

That philosophy is what led me to co-found Arena Health Optimization, a high-performance health and longevity clinic built for people who aren’t interested in quietly declining with age.

At Arena, we take a more complete look at what’s happening beneath the surface through comprehensive labs and biomarkers, hormone optimization, metabolic health, GLP-1 oversight when appropriate, strength and nutrition strategy, recovery, supplements, and individualized protocols.

Because feeling “off” isn’t something you should automatically accept as part of getting older.

I believe the second half of life can be some of your strongest years — but it requires understanding your body, knowing your numbers, and having a strategy built for where you are now.

Outside of Arena, I host the Healthy A.F. / Healthy After Fifty Podcast, where I challenge outdated ideas around diet, fitness, metabolism, and aging. I also co-host The Next 40 with my wife, Danielle, where we have honest conversations about health, relationships, purpose, aging, and what it really looks like to build the next chapter of your life intentionally.

Everything I do comes back to one idea:

Stay in the Arena.

Keep building strength. Keep protecting your health. Keep showing up for the people and experiences that matter to you.

My work is about helping people create the health, energy, resilience, and physical capacity to do exactly that — for decades to come.
