How I got started:
I began CrossFit in 2009 at my friends house. The workout was "Elizabeth", 21-15-9 reps of cleans at 135 lbs and ring dips. After muscling my way through the sets of 21, I quickly learned that I bit off more than I can chew. I didn't finish the workout, not even close. I was humbled beyond belief. Naturally, I didn't want to come back, but thankfully I did. After a short wile, CrossFit Shoals (RIP) opened, and I took my first class. Shortly thereafter, I attended my first CrossFit Level 1 Certificate Course in West Palm Beach Florida. I started coach in May of 2010 and haven'y looked back. Fitness is my passion, and teaching is what I'm here for.
Philosophy:
I was put on this planet to teach. I applied my passions for health and fitness early on and found a rewarding career where I'm able to teach, lead, and inspire. CrossFit methodology aligns up perfectly with where my heart is: get people healthier and happier.
