Turning Point

In 2018, I split from my ex-wife and had to learn how to cope with living alone and sharing time with taking care of my daughter. I didn’t like the way I looked when I saw myself in the mirror. In December of 2018, I restarted my journey into fitness. I had just finished recovering from my 5th surgery in 8 years. I was consuming 4-6 energy drinks and day and after a major health scare one day, I knew I needed a major change. I started by swimming and lifting weights. I then began running my military squadron PT program and got hooked on functional fitness style training. I went from weighing 220#s to 185#s. I started eating healthier and meal prepping. I was stationed in Korea and that’s where I was hooked back into a CrossFit gym and became a coach. I still drink energy drinks but have slowly started to not drink any. I am down to less than 1 a day and hope to eventually be done with them completely. My enemy is addiction and CrossFit has been my way to get through my struggles.

Motivation & Passion

My purpose for coaching is to take care of my athletes and watch them grow. I love to see athletes achieve goals they have set. I have 2 motivations in my life:<br /> My daughter is my number 1 driving factor. I want t be able to run around and coach my daughter when she gets older. If I was still on my old path, I know I would never be able to do it.<br /> My second motivation is my older brothers police partner who was killed in the line of duty. I wear a chain around my neck, with his badge on it, and when times get tough or a workout puts my into a dark place. I will touch the badge and keep pushing on. That’s what I have learned about myself through my fitness journey. <br /> <br /> If any athlete needs help or wants to know more from me, all they have to do is ask.
