Visit and follow our social pages:
As a US Army Veteran and Fitness Professional, Coach Beau is driven by a mission to push individuals beyond their limits to achieve their best physiques and greatest potential. His fitness journey took root during his time in the Army, where he began training seriously and developing a deep interest in strength and conditioning. That passion grew during four years working as a private contractor piloting and programming UAVs in Afghanistan in support of SOC and NSW teams, where he trained alongside elite operators and refined his approach to performance, discipline, and resilience.
A former state-level swimmer, veteran, paramilitary contractor, and hobby bodybuilder, Beau formally transitioned into professional coaching in 2017 after resigning from wartime contracting. Over the last 12 years, he has relentlessly honed his knowledge and methods in advanced weightlifting, nutritional strategy, and competition prep—transforming hundreds of clients through body recomposition, muscle growth, fat loss, and strength development.
In the competitive arena, Beau has coached dozens of athletes to first-callouts and overall finishes in NPC/IFBB Bikini and Fit Model divisions. His clients range from high school and college athletes, pre-/post-natal women, stroke survivors, aging adults, and competitive bodybuilders. Coach Beau works best with committed individuals who are ready to embrace the challenge of disciplined training and nutrition, crafting tailored programs that deliver lasting, visible results.
