Coach Joe is originally from Kailua, Hawaii, and has lived in California since 2000, where he met his wife and raised his daughters. While growing up in Hawaii, he served as a Summer Fun Counselor, an after-school program leader, and coached flag football, baseball, and basketball. When he later had the chance to coach his own kids, he couldn’t wait to be involved.

Despite being active, Joe was “the fat kid” and spent years trying nearly every fad diet imaginable. His battle with weight has been ongoing, but it’s also what eventually fueled his passion for fitness. As his daughter approached middle school—and knowing boys would soon be hovering—he decided it was time to take his fitness seriously and set a standard that would make any potential suitor think twice.

As Joe transformed his health, people started approaching him—friends of his daughters, fellow gym members, and others looking for guidance. Long before he ever considered becoming a personal trainer, he was already coaching and helping those around him. Seeing others succeed because of his support became one of the most rewarding experiences of his life.

Today, Joe has taken his passion to the next level, committed to growing, improving, and serving anyone willing to put in the work alongside him.
