About Me
I graduated from the University of Illinois - Chicago in 2013 with a BS in Biochemistry. Since then I have garnered 10+ years of strength and conditioning experience. Throughout college and since, I have found so much joy in the fitness lifestyle and culture. Spending hours of time researching lifting techniques and styles as well as nutritional and supplemental research articles. As a father of three, I have historically used every excuse possible for why I didn't apply this knowledge to become something more. November 1st 2023, I adopted the 75 hard playbook as my full time lifestyle and haven’t looked back. In doing so, I realized that I was meant to inspire this same change in anyone who desired as much. I then worked to become an ISSA-CPT in my free time so I could make this dream a reality. It was at this point that Ascend Lifestyle was born. Since becoming certified in personal training, I have continued with my education, becoming a certified nutrition coach. The offerings I bring to my clients continues to grow with time.
Be the result of continuous, focused effort.

"I couldn't recommend Scott and his process enough. He has not only helped me improve my physical fitness but has also played a crucial role in boosting my confidence and comfort level at the gym. Having been a person who tended to go to the gym infrequently, Scott was able to help me by being incredibly supportive and encouraging. He was able to cater to my goals and was able to personalize the workouts to fit my schedule and abilities. With his guidance, I've not only seen progress in my strength and endurance but have also developed a positive attitude for working out. His expertise, encouragement, and positivity has truly transformed my fitness journey for the better, I can't recommend him enough!"

"I was no stranger to working out before starting this program. What I was lacking, I've noticed, was consistency and accountability. It would be 1 step forward and 3 steps back for me. I also was not mindful of my diet. Once I started this program, I have seen results every week since. The workout regimen has put me on a consistent path and has pushed me to want to get better. Watching my calories intake, and macros has kept me in check every day. Now I'm sitting at 20 lbs down, 2 months into the program. Looking back on how I felt at the beginning to now, It's a world of difference. This has been a great decision not just for my body but also my mental health. Seeing the progress that has been made, I'm ecstatic to continue my journey with Ascend Lifestyle."
