Our Coaches

Joe began his climbing journey in 2009 as a dedicated gym climber in the Northeast. After moving to California in 2013, he immersed himself in the outdoor climbing scene, exploring crags across the West Coast. Frustrated by a plateau in his progress, Joe dived deep into climbing training and movement, studying every book, blog, and conference to enhance his understanding. In 2017, he began crafting his own training programs, which led to significant improvements.

Joe has climbed extensively across the Southwestern U.S., participating in sport, trad, and bouldering, depending on the season. He has redpointed up to 12d in sport climbing and is now focused on advancing his skills in trad and bouldering.

Though his climbing coaching career started in 2020, Joe has been coaching athletes since 2013 as a High School Track and Field and Cross Country Coach. He prides himself on being a best-practice coach, always on the lookout for cutting-edge insights to help his clients excel—mentally, physically, tactically, and emotionally—both on the wall and in life.
