head coach

What up?! I'm Coach Dre, and I've participated in competitive sports and strength training since a very young age. Growing up playing basketball, I was never the biggest or strongest player on the court. And so I started lifting weights in the 7th grade to improve my weaknesses. And ever since then, I've been fascinated by the body's capability of yielding optimal results through hard work, proper nutrition and adequate recovery.

From 2010 to 2014, I worked for the department of Parks and Recreation at Loma Alta Park in Altadena. During this time, I coached kids from the ages of 3 to 14 in a variety of sports programs. I gained a vast amount of experience as one of the Head Trainers for our park's basketball clinic.

Currently, I'm a registered NPC (National Physique Committee) athlete competing in the Men's Physique division. After joining Team Precision Elite, coached by IFBB PRO Will Sage, I've been competing in bodybuilding since 2021.

Previous placings:

NPC: Men's Physique (Class A)
- 2021 Pacific USA - 2nd
- 2022 SoCal Championships - 7th
- 2023 Excalibur - 2nd
- 2024 LA Championships - TBD
- 2024 USA (National) - TBD


I work with fitness enthusiast of all levels. Whether you need help or the confidence and motivation to start, or whether you're looking to unleash your maximum potential as a competitive athlete, I am here to help.

What do I look for in prospect clients? I check to see if each individual is coachable, serious and determined about investing in themselves. Ultimately willing to make the positive lifestyle changes in order to improve their health, well-being and quality of life.

I can only show you the door, but you have to be the one to walk through it.
