I started doing CrossFit in 2017 to prepare for Marine Corps recruit training. While preparing for that journey, I fell in love with CrossFit and continued to do it throughout my career in the Marine Corps.

During my first deployment, I really put the throttle down and pursued CrossFit in a more serious manner with the aspiration to be a serious competitive athlete. Along with pursuing my own dreams and goals, I also trained up to two dozen Marines at a time so we could all successfully complete our physical fitness tests. Over the years of training Marines and myself, I have developed a passion for fitness and love to share my knowledge with others, leading me to become a coach.
