I am a husband and father of 4 amazing children. I don’t believe in problems, there is only solutions that have not been found yet! I also believe we can all change the world by helping each other become the best versions of ourselves. “Be the change you’d like to see in the world.” ~Gandhi
Background / How did you start CrossFit?
I have been involved with sports and weightlifting since my adolescence. I was always hot and cold following a bodybuilding style program until my father in law introduced me to CrossFit. I was still playing baseball and flag football at the time and immediately saw an improvement in my performance!
How long have you been doing CrossFit / Coaching?
Started CrossFit in 2009/ coaching in 2011 and have never looked back.
Why do you love to coach?
There is no better feeling than seeing someone’s face light up accomplishing something they set out to do or learning something new!
