Mike originally became a personal trainer in NYC and after sustaining a severe back injury from deadlifting stumbled upon Functional Patterns while trying to resolve his own issues. He’s been working strictly as a Functional Patterns Human Biomechanics Specialist since 2018, working with many different clients with a wide variety of chronic pain and goals. This includes scoliosis correction, lower back pain, sciatica, shoulder pain, neck pain, and a range of neurological conditions and disorders. In addition to this, Mike has also worked with professional athletes at all levels, from the G-league to the NFL.

Recognizing Functional Patterns as the future of training, and dissatisfied with doing Functional Patterns as an independent trainer in traditional gyms, Mike moved to Santa Monica in 2020 to develop and expand Functional Patterns Santa Monica into a top tier one on one training facility. He’s been able to attract an all star team of top trainers, all with outstanding abilities. He not only considers Functional Patterns as a training methodology, but a holistic philosophy and way of looking at life.
