Hi, I’m Danny, a Certified Peak Performance Coach and Chronic Pain Specialist based in New York.
For over a decade, I’ve been guiding driven entrepreneurs, business leaders, and athletes to achieve peak performance while overcoming chronic pain and burnout.
Having personally battled Grade 1-2 spondylolisthesis, herniated discs, and long bouts of burnout, I refused to accept “just manage it” or “take it easy” as my reality. Instead, I created a science-backed approach blending elite strength training, precision nutrition, and advanced recovery strategies to help others transform pain into power and unlock their full potential.
Why My Approach is Different
Most traditional chronic pain approaches and fitness programs only focus on the fixing the surface level symptoms. But I go deeper. My methods address the root causes of pain and dysfunction, allowing my clients to unlock optimal function, so they can sustain their success without sacrificing health or risking burnout.
My goal is to help you create a training lifestyle that enhances your life in every way, making you more productive, more energized, and ultimately more fulfilled.
Credentials That Back It Up
With a blend of formal certifications, elite training, and interdisciplinary expertise, I bring a multi-faceted approach to performance coaching that goes beyond conventional methods.
- NSCA Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS)
- Certified USA Olympic Weightlifting Coach
- Postural Restoration Institute Certificates (+100 hours)
- B.A. from Columbia University
- U.S. Naval Academy: Received world-class instruction in delivering peak performance under extreme stress and mastering a variety of training modalities.
In addition to formal education and certifications, I perform ongoing coursework on the evolving science of Flow States, Neuroscience, and Embodied Cognition (the Mind-Body Connection). I continually test and refine these methods on myself and my clients to build sustainable, peak performance—whether it’s overcoming chronic pain or competing at the highest level.

What Clients Have to Say
Clients often come to me after trying traditional physical therapy, chiropractic care, or endless fitness programs—only to find only temporary relief and marginal improvement.
One client, Nic, worked with one of the most reputable physical therapy clinics in the country for three months with no results. Within weeks of starting our program, he eliminated his pain and restored his full physical capacity, regaining the confidence to push his limits again.
It’s these transformations that drive me and validate the impact of our work together.
