ABOUT ME
I am a 13x certified, Major League Strength & Conditioning coach with over 17 years of experience. Not only do I bring a plethora of intense, in-depth, and hands-on experience to my clients, I also bring charisma, passion, and fun. I am of Chinese-Canadian descent, my name coming from the Chinese word “Eastward” which is pronounced “Dong”. My name was given by my grandfather on his journey out of the war-torn country of Vietnam. I landed in Winnipeg Manitoba where I attended the University of Manitoba and received my Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Sports Science, majoring in Athletic Therapy.
I then completed my Masters of Science in Performance Enhancement & Injury Prevention from California University of Pennsylvania; later spending 10 years in the major leagues as a Strength & Conditioning coach for the Philadelphia Phillies organization.
I am married to the amazing Tara Miller (@whiskuphappy for delicious, beautiful baked goods!), and am a proud #girldad to my daughter, Ryley Lien.
