Born in Oklahoma City, Lance played a variety of sports growing up.
Excelling on the field and in the classroom during high school, Lance received both athletic and academic scholarships, and after his fourth year playing soccer at Missouri State University, he signed his first professional contract with Chivas USA in Los Angeles.
During his first year in L.A., Lance was approached by an acting coach who thought he had “the look” to be a successful model, and so during the off-seasons throughout his soccer career, Lance would spend his time modeling in L.A., Miami, and New York City.
Lance quickly found out that there was a big difference in the way he needed to exercise and eat to successfully maintain his two different careers. He remembers, “While playing soccer, I could eat almost anything I wanted since my priority was to have more muscle mass that helped me be strong and explosive. During the offseason, however, I would have to lose 15 pounds and really watch what I ate in order to have those 6-pack abs show.”
Throughout his 7-year professional soccer career, Lance continued to experiment with his training and nutrition strategies to learn how to optimize both his athletic performance and aesthetics. When retiring, he knew he wanted to take his knowledge in both subject matters even deeper so he could coach and help others. This drive is what led him to become a Certified Nutrition Coach and Certified Personal Trainer. He has since been certified by multiple other nutrition and fitness companies including Precision Nutrition, EXOS, and the USSF, to name a few.
Lance also specializes in Cardio-Respiratory Metabolic testing and analysis, allowing him to dial in his athletes exact training zones and prescribe nutrition recommendations and training protocols that are specific to addressing that individual’s limiting factors.
In addition to being a nutritionist and coach to numerous high-performance individuals from many walks of life, Lance enjoys spending time outdoors and pushing his body and mind to his limits with ultra endurance racing. But what makes him unique in the world of health and fitness is the data-driven and problem-solving mindset he brings to what he does.
