Chief Athletic Officer & Head Coach
I have been an athlete my whole life, participating in almost every sport available to me from soccer, baseball and football as a child to more than 10 years of rugby throughout high school, college and men’s-league. When I found CrossFit in 2010, I realized it was the culmination of almost 20 years of athletic endeavors and I instantly fell in love. In January of 2013 I received my CF-L1 and began coaching. Since that time I have amassed 10 years and over 12,000 hours of group/team coaching and personal training experience, gone onto receive my CF-L2 certification and was involved with research and development of industry-leading tech designed to help athletes train harder and recover faster.
When coaching, I take a very common-sense approach towards movement, scaling options, injury prevention and athlete recovery. I like to work hard and stay focused when in the gym, but I also keep my classes laid-back and fun. Don’t be surprised if I randomly break out in dance or spend an entire class quoting movies while coaching. I believe that everyone can better themselves in all aspects of life through thorough and well-planned athletic training. I've trained every type of individual, from pregnant mothers to professional athletes, and it's my mission to make it clear that ANYONE can be an athlete.
