Why/How did you first get involved in CrossFit?

I had a friend invite me for a few years before I joined a CrossFit gym. I joined to help with jiu jitsu conditioning. I was immediately drawn to the community and methodology. I eventually got the blue belt blues and fell away from jiu jitsu, but have stayed the course with CrossFit.

How long have you been coaching and what are your qualifications?

I've been in nutrition coaching for about 8 yrs, starting with my L-1. About 3 yrs ago I received my L-2 Master Health Coach certification. On June 25, 2025 I became a CrossFit L-1 Trainer

Fun fact about you:

I play coed soccer, I'm a fan of Japanese anime

Outside the gym:

Most of my day is taken up with being the division Manager of the steel division for a local general contractor
