I became a coach to help others improve their fitness journey and to also always keep myself in check. I grew up with a Mom that was always trying to eat healthy and workout but throughout her older years the toll of smoking and other health issues began to take its toll on her. My father always appeared to be in great shape and died suddenly when he was only 61. This influenced me to begin my journey to make sure I am here for family and to help others. Prior to coaching I have always worked out and competed in sports. Currently in adult years I still compete by racing dirtbikes for fun so being in shape also helps. I began crossfit in 2019 and fell in love with the community. I received crossfit level 1 training but didnt stop there. I began programming police academy classes from warm up to workouts for 24 week academies to show progression and using data to make sure they improved. I mentored my coaches and brought in a team of 7 to help teach fitness and start officers on the right foot coming into a high stress job. I began research on nutrition and took crossfits nutrition course just to gain knowledge. I do not know where this journey will end for me but it has been a fun ride so far.
