I grew up playing all the sports. Soccer, basketball, lacrosse, track, skiing. Was All-State Team and captain of my high school lacrosse team. Not good enough to walk on at Bentley, so it was intramural team sports and lifting in college. A car accident derailed my health in 2009, I had significant musculature damage in my neck and stopped working out and gained a lot of weight. I did my PT and I ate and drank everything in sight. At my worst, I was 5'9" 245 and had gained 60 lbs. Eventually my best friend helped me slowly right the ship. I started running and doing Spartan Races. After about a year and a half I had lost most of the 60 lbs and was in decent cardio shape. Then my cousin invited me to try CrossFit with him. My first workout in 2012 was it, I was hooked... It's now a major part of my life for 12 years... and I don't see that ever changing. It will always be fun competing with myself and getting better. I love coaching and helping people. Good coaches are what allows us to keep bringing health to our communities. As with all aspects of life, there's so much to learn and I'm enjoying the journey. In traveling for work and fun, I've dropped in at over 100 boxes in 25+ states and 10+ countries. The places and the people I've met have made me a better human. I'm grateful.
