Michael Cox
I am a husband and father of 3 kids, all under the age of five. My professional life centers on natural disaster intelligence, mitigation, and response, with a particular emphasis on wildfire. I grew up in Texas hauling hay, playing football, and running track. Fitness has always been my mental outlet and I have been consistently training at least 3 days a week since 5th grade. I have been involved in Crossfit since 2013 but embarrassingly you wouldn't know it by witnessing my poor oly form. Likewise most of my PRs are old and potentially unattainable but I still like to think "I'm as good, once, as I ever was". The competitive aspect of Crossfit is fun but Crossfit for me has always been more of a path to keep enjoying work, outdoor activities, recreational sports, keeping up with my kids, and keeping sane. I am also an avid Dungeons and Dragons creator, artist, and enthusiast, and enjoy all things, TTRPG, Star Wars, comic, sc-fi, fantasy, and video game.
