American Kettlebell Club Coach
I was born in China and raised/spoiled by my grandmother in Shanghai. With her fantastic cooking, I developed a grown man’s appetite and some extra weight by the age of 7, when I immigrated to America. I lost the weight playing high school football and also developed an interest in health and fitness. In college, I studied Kinesiology and played competitve Ultimate Frisbee. I started training and coaching my teammates and I have been playing/coaching Ultimate for 10 years now. I get really jazzed analzying nutrition and fitness research, especially sports conditioning research, so I am a big dork when it comes to that!
