What year did you start CrossFitting?

Winter of 2017, shortly after attending an OC3 party. I’m still trying to figure out if there’s a correlation there…

Why did you get into fitness (and CrossFit)?  

I’ve always been into fitness but, more than anything, I enjoy being challenged and that only intensified after I joined the Marine Corps. Since then, I’ve participated in a variety of sports (i.e. triathlons, powerlifting, mountain biking) and recently decided to try CrossFit. Since then, I’ve been hooked on the atmosphere created by the members and coaches and aspire to contribute to this awesome dynamic.

Why did you become a trainer?

I enjoy helping people meet their fitness goals.

What’s your favorite CrossFit movement?

Burpees.

What is your favorite cheat food?

Great tasting barbecue.

Who is your favorite superhero and why?

Wolverine. Tenacious, fierce and resilient!
