About Us
We at Peak303 believe very strongly in long-term athletic development and health of all the athletes we work with. For that reason, we incorporate three essential development pillars in all the programs we provide. While there are many ways to train athletes for the demands of their specific sports, there are three main development pillars that we believe are essential to the success and health of all athletes. FOUNDATIONAL STRENGTH, FUNCTIONAL SPEED & POWER, FUNDAMENTAL RECOVERY.
FOUNDATIONAL STRENGTH is essential to an athlete's overall health and performance for any individual or team sport and is the primary development pillar of which all other's are built off of. Developing foundational strength allows for better control of muscles, greater work capacity and ability to generate higher forces and power. Not only can foundational strength development enhance skills but will also create the resiliency needed to repeat those skills over a longer period of time.
FUNCTIONAL SPEED & POWER is a crucial development pillar for high performance in most team sports like football, basketball, baseball/softball and many individual sports like track & field. While elite speed and power is not necessary for success in every sport and position, developing functional speed and power is. Learning running mechanics, acceleration/deceleration techniques and power developing exercises, can increase the speed and power athletes need for most sports.
FUNDAMENTAL RECOVERY is a fundamental development component to the success of any training program and health of all athletes. Without proper recovery, adaptation through training is limited and therefore so will high performance outcomes. We utilize myofascial release techniques and self-message routines to enhance the body's response time and recovery from workouts, practices and games.
With these three development pillars; our goal is for our athletes is not only to physically develop and perform at a high level but to also stay healthy and performing for the length of their athletic careers.

Founder/Owner/Director of Performance Training
Brian is the Owner of Peak 303 LLC. With over two decades of training amateur and professional athletes, the former Colorado Rockies Major League Strength and Conditioning Coach is a Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist and a Registered Strength and Conditioning Coach Emeritus, through the National Strength and Conditioning Association. Here's some more about his personal journey as an athlete, business owner and coach.
Growing up in a small rural town on the coast of Maine, I had the opportunity to play multiple sports as a youth. I played three sports (baseball, basketball & golf) all throughout high school and was fortunate to continue on my athletic playing career at Springfield College as a walk-on for the Pride baseball team and graduated from Springfield College with a degree in Applied Exercise Science.
During my time at Springfield College, I realized that my athletic career would eventually come to an end but I wanted to continue on with a career in athletics. Fortunately, my first opportunity came by way of a strength and conditioning internship at the United States Naval Academy. That was a great learning experience for me and one that planted the seed for what would become a passion and career in strength and conditioning. From there I spent the fall and winter working as a part-time strength and conditioning coach at the University of Massachusetts - Amherst. At that time, UMASS didn't have any open full-time positions but the Head Strength & Conditioning Coach - Coach Otrando, was very gracious in giving me a part-time opportunity to cut my teeth in the strength and conditioning profession.
While working at UMASS and applying for graduate school, I came across a strength and conditioning internship opportunity in professional baseball. Several MLB teams had put out notification of open positions for the upcoming season. Even though it was January, I was fortunate that the Detroit Tigers still had one more strength & conditioning coach position for their Major League Spring Training camp in Lakeland, Florida. While there weren't any guaranteed positions past Spring Training, I still jumped at the opportunity. After that Spring Training in 1999, I was given a full-season position with the Detroit Tigers AAA Minor League affiliate, the Toledo Mud Hens. Once that season ended, I knew what I wanted to do. Though it was a long and grueling season with hardly any pay, I truly enjoyed the job and knew I wanted to stay in professional baseball as a strength & conditioning coach.
That off-season, I yet again found myself at crossroads in my career. Do I do another internship to stay in professional baseball or do I look for a full-time job elsewhere? Thankfully, I was blessed with another opportunity to stay in professional baseball. This time it was to be the Minor League Strength & Conditioning Coordinator for the Colorado Rockies. I served in the role for 9 years where I designed, organized and managed all strength & conditioning programs for the Rockies minor league teams and players. While I loved the position, it didn’t allow me to do what I loved most, which was to be part of one team and work with athletes on a daily basis. So, when I was given the opportunity to become the Major League Strength & Conditioning Coach for the Rockies organization in the fall of 2008, I was ecstatic. The position allowed me to work with every player daily, on the roster over the course of a Major League season, of which I was blessed to serve in that role through the 2014 season.
During the winter of 2014, I decided to follow my passion to train athletes here in Colorado, so I decided to start my own sports performance training business called Elite Peak 303. While the business has gone through a few iterations over the years; Peak 303 LLC is still a first-class sport performance training service that I take pride in providing athletes of all ages, gender and sports.
I been blessed to raise a family and call Colorado home for over 20 years now. It truly is a special place!
