From captaining soccer teams to leading product‑obsessed startups, I’ve always been driven by the same question: How do you unlock peak performance, then keep it? That mindset led me to launch my own personal‑training company at 20 and scale it into a profitable multi‑trainer business while still competing on the pitch. Now, as Co‑Founder & CEO of HOMEGROWN, the AI‑powered operating system that keeps fitness clubs and studios thriving. Think MINDBODY meets WHOOP, purpose‑built for fitness club and studio operators. I lead vision, capital strategy, and go‑to‑market, partnering with clubs that want more than scheduling software—they want a competitive edge. We’re currently raising our seed round to accelerate product development and GTM velocity. If you’re a studio or club owner looking to boost engagement, an investor who backs category‑defining SaaS, or just someone who loves high‑performance teams, let’s connect.
