Founder & Head Coach
From Fighter to Builder
Look, I'm not gonna feed you some polished corporate origin story. Started training when I was 16 - angry kid looking for an outlet. Found it in a dingy basement gym that smelled like old leather and dedication.
Spent my twenties competing - amateur boxing circuit, some MMA fights, got my ass handed to me more times than I'd like to admit. But those losses? They taught me more than any victory ever could.
After hanging up the gloves, I knew I wasn't done with this world. Worked as a trainer at a few big-box gyms and honestly, it felt hollow. Cookie-cutter programs, people treated like numbers, zero soul in the training.
So in 2018, I took everything I'd saved and opened Krythion Empire in a 3,000 sq ft space on Burrard. The name? It's about building something that lasts - your strength, your discipline, your legacy. We've grown since then, but the mission hasn't changed: real training for real people who want real results.
"Every champion was once a contender who refused to give up."
