I can’t remember a time in my life when I wasn’t pushing myself physically…literally I was the weird 5 year old doing sit ups at nap time while all the other kids drooled on their mats. Growing up, sport and fitness became my safe haven. It’s where I excelled and so did my confidence. I started Olympic Lifting in high school in order to build the necessary explosion to compete at a high level on the football field. It worked…I went on to play football for The College of William and Mary.

Post college, I found my passion for fitness depleted as I no longer had a strength coach pushing me to reach my full potential. That all changed when I found CrossFit. I instantly fell in love with the programming and the “lift heavy things, long distances, quickly” mentality. Before I knew it I was competing in the final team workout in the 2011 CrossFit Games where my team (Brick CrossFit) took 5th place in the WORLD! My idea of what fit is has been forever changed and if fit is what you strive to be there is no better program than CrossFit.
