About Coach

I started playing soccer at the age of 4 and tried a variety of other sports throughout my childhood, but soccer remained my favorite. I was on track to attend college on a soccer scholarship when an injury prevented me from pursuing that dream and forced me to look at other routes to attend college. During that season, I found CrossFit and was instantly drawn to all the aspects of sports that it reminded me of: the competition, the community, and the pursuit to be better today than you were yesterday.

Turning Point

Despite finding CrossFit in 2011, I haven't stuck with it for the past 10 years. During that time, I stopped attending classes regularly, wasn't paying attention to my nutrition, and became focused on other things in my life. A few years ago, I decided that my health was something that only I could be in control of. If I wanted a change, I was the only one who could make it happen. I got back into CrossFit in 2018, made fitness and nutrition priorities in my life, and haven't looked back ever since.

Motivation & Passion

The most rewarding aspect of coaching is watching others succeed, whether it's someone's first pull-up, a barbell PR, or simply showing up for their first-ever CrossFit class: all of those moments are victories and I love being part of those moments. There's never a perfect moment to start something new, especially when it comes to fitness. But when someone has the courage to show up, I love being part of their journey to make a change and be better today than they were yesterday.
