#25: Founder of the Sports Armory, Coach Pace has been dedicated to athletics and sports performance his entire life. At a young age he was competitive in basketball, track, and boxing. A love for physical conditioning developed at the start of middle school. Due to an unwavering desire to become a great athlete, his activities quickly became a lifestyle. Coach Pace received a full scholarship to play basketball for St. Gregory’s University where he earned his bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science.

Coach Pace is known for his ability to pull the best out of the athletes he trains.  His adolescent athletes respect him, trust him and look up to him as a mentor and friend. The one thing all of Pace’s athletes will tell you is “He is the best at what he does because he’s never satisfied with what he knows right now.”

He has been working as an active strength and conditioning specialist since 1998 and has been certified with National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) since 2002. Coach Pace also serves as a member of the NSCA Oklahoma Advisory Board and holds certifications as a sports nutritionist through the International Sports Science Association, certified C360 master trainer, and a certified USA Weightlifting Level 1 Sport Performance Coach.
