ABOUT ME
Fall 2013 I went to Mercyhurst University to play Water Polo and study Exercise Science and Business. Next stop was The University of Georgia for my Master of Science in Kinesiology and Strength and Conditioning, where I interned with Olympic Sports and Football Strength and Conditioning Programs.

Upon completion of my education, I accepted my first paid Strength and Conditioning Coach Position at Rutgers University in January 2019.
Since then, I have worked to become fully independent in 2023, having started LAWSON LIFESTYLE & PERFORMANCE in 2020.
I have trained clients from all walks of life over the last 8 years, but performance training lies my true passion. My dream has always been to train the most elite populations in the world.
LAWSON LIFESTYLE & PERFORMANCE
was created for
athletes
and
tactical facilitators.
Whether you are new to working out, or a professional athlete or tactical facilitator, our system is proven to help you reach your goals.
