Stephen’s passion for fitness began early as he graduated with a degree in Exercise Science with a specialization in Strength and Conditioning Coaching from University of Texas at Austin. At his time there he worked with the Men’s Basketball program and fell in love with strength and conditioning, especially around the sport of basketball. After he graduated, he worked as the Trinity Women’s Basketball Assistant Coach. He coached basketball and programmed their strength and conditioning during his two years at Trinity. It grew clear that his main passion was training athletes and building programs to get people stronger and fitter. He left basketball and entered private fitness coaching at a gym in San Antonio called Revolution as a personal trainer and functional movement coach. Since then he has entered a new career as a Sales Engineer at NetBrain Technologies but his love for fitness has always remained. He has always kept up his personal fitness endeavors: marathon running, cycling, jiu Jitsu, Olympic style lifting and now CrossFit. He started training at The Tribe in 2021 after his daughter Elliott was born and fell in love with the training style. CrossFit has married so many different movements that Stephen has loved over his years of training and is thankful he walked through the Tribe’s doors. CrossFit has brought him so much energy, confidence, and community after struggling to find his groove post-pandemic. He is thankful to be able to continue fulfilling his love for teaching and coaching fitness at such a wonderful and inclusive gym
