I’ve never been a very athletic person. Although I played youth basketball or outdoor sports as a kid, I was always on the heavier side and struggled with finding a fitness program that would keep my interest for longer than a few months.

I started CrossFit in 2011, when my weight had reached over 275 lbs. I wasn’t happy.  In the beginning, I started doing CrossFit workouts in my home gym by myself, but after several months at home, I wanted to do more than the limitations of my home gym, so I took the next step and joined a local box. I couldn’t believe the world of difference it made. I lost more weight, I got stronger, I started competing in local events, and fell in love with the community as well as the competitive side of CrossFit. I’ve visited dozens of CrossFit boxes around the U.S., working on various programs and certifications. My passion for CrossFit comes from the results I’ve personally had as well as the results I’ve seen in others.
