About Coach

I started CrossFit because I was looking for something more challenging than the same 'ol same 'ol at LA Fitness and I found it in CrossFit! I’ve been doing this for 11 or 12 years… I’ve lost count! My favorite part about CrossFit is I get to play with my friends every day. Every workout is a humbling experience; at least one of the movements is always soul-crushing in the best kind of way and that's what drives me to come back the next day! I can't express my gratitude enough about the friendships I've made in the CrossFit community. Between enjoying holidays, hikes, lunches, dinners, coffee, and cocktails, I’ve gained such a great community of fitness friends. The support within the community is also really overwhelming (in a great way). After falling off a ladder in my home and injuring myself, members showed up to clean up the mess off my floors and help me out. Another time, I accidentally smoked out my house with an oven accident a few days after Christmas and (what felt like) the entire gym community showed up to help clean out the smoke damage. I could go on and on about how amazing the community is! Lastly, I enjoy coaching CrossFit because I love encouraging folks to improve and have fun at the same time. After all, "that bar ain't gonna lift itself!"
