Marysville, MI, USA
Head Coach of sdf_coaching
I’m a competitive powerlifter and coach dedicated to helping lifters reach their highest potential on and off the platform. With years of hands-on experience under the bar, I’ve built my own total to near 1,600 lbs at a bodyweight of 250lbs, with a 601lb squat, 419 lb bench, and 562 lb deadlift. Through sdf_coaching, I’ve worked with developing lifters with totals from 900lbs all the way to 1,700lbs+ . My coaching focuses on individualized programming, technical precision, and long-term progression. Whether the goal is stepping onto the platform for the first time or competing at a high level.

Trying to balance being being a full-time nurse and powerlifter can be incredibly difficult but Stephen makes the process as streamlined as possible to allow to continue to maintain momentum in training regardless of the variables.
Adrian Rico - Client
just started working with him after being unable to train for a 6 month period given being in basic and AIT, he’s helped me ease myself back into powerlifting and made it so simple to lift how i used to lift without also over exerting myself and keeping me grounded all at the same time, very open as to what he expects from us as athletes as well as being open to suggestions as to what workouts we favor versus dislike, overall a solid coach and even a better mentor!
