Sam grew up in Michigan playing sports as a kid, and was first exposed to lifting weights at around 14 years old. For the next decade and a half, he would have no concept of what real progress looked like until finding the Starting Strength Novice Linear Progression. What Starting Strength has done for him, he wants to share with anyone who will listen. This brought him to Boise to coach at the Starting Strength gyms. In his free time, he enjoys training in Jiu Jitsu. Training after the NLP reinforces the value of a strength program for both performance and injury prevention.
