For those who haven't met him yet we'd like to introduce our intern Mike!

Mike was born and raised as a Japanese-American in Portland, Oregon and spent significant time in Forest Grove during his time at Pacific University. In addition to his intern position, Mike currently works full time as a licensed Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) at a skilled nursing facility, and part time as a Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) at a community center. His goal is to immerse himself into the strength & conditioning field to enhance his current background in order to effectively train higher level athletes and develop his skillset to improve performance for his other clients with various goals.

Outside of work Mike competes in USTA adult tennis leagues, trains for breakdance performances, and enjoys craft beer to relax after a long week of work.

Mike will be with us for a total of 10 weeks and has already demonstrated tremendous initiative and work ethic. Come get to know him while he's here!
