In early 2017, he was offered a coaching position from James FitzGerald (founder of OPEX Fitness). Without hesitation, he moved to Arizona in June of that year to work under James as a remote coach. Through mentorship from James and Mike Lee, Sam embarked on the journey of pursuing coaching as a career rooted in helping others reach their physical potential.

Since moving to Arizona, Sam has worked with hundreds of individuals across all ages and abilities. Through the practice, he’s identified the importance of developing an enduring relationship with each individual. And in order for the relationship to endure, it must be built on trust between the coach and the client.

Sam’s current clientele is quite broad and from across the world. His clients range from those seeking to reach the pinnacle of their sport (CrossFit, Running, Hyrox, Triathlon, Golf) to those wanting to enjoy lifelong health and fitness. Sam has coached over a dozen individuals to the CrossFit Games and over 50 CrossFit Regional/Semifinal/Sanctional appearances.
