How did I get here? Well, I had worked as a software developer for over 12 years. I had always been involved in sports playing basketball in high school and college. I would hit the gym 4 to 5 times a week engaging in a weight lifting regime and then capping it off with some cardio. I played in a bunch of basketball leagues and suffered my share of injuries.

In 2008, my military buddy introduced me to CrossFit and I gave it a shot. First off, I immediately realized how unfit I was. Secondly, after I started getting acclimated to it, I watched my basketball abilities sky rocket. I was able to dunk again in my thirties (something I hadn’t done since college), and I was playing entire leagues injury free. In 2010, I was loving CrossFit, and realized it was my calling. I left the office and decided to devote myself to my passion of CrossFit. I love teaching CrossFit and hope to share the many benefits that I have not only experienced, but witnessed in many other individuals.

I’ve been playing hockey since I was nine. Throughout college I felt like I was never strong enough or skated fast enough. Then in 2012 I wanted to step up my game and decided to try CrossFit. I was hooked. I realized that it wasn’t just something I did to be better at hockey, but it was something I was passionate about by itself. I decided to get certified to teach and have been since January, 2015. I really enjoy the tiny details in every movement. Especially in the clean and jerk and the snatch within Olympic weightlifting. If you want any help or any pointers please don’t hesitate to ask! See you around the box!

Nervous to try CrossFit?  So was I. At close to 300 pounds, I joined CrossFit Mariner Square in 2011 and haven’t looked back since. I never thought I would be running 400 meters — let a lone doing pull ups, double-unders, jumping on boxes, and lifting heavy things. CrossFit to me is a community of healthy, fit, fun (and sometimes competitive) friends. CrossFit has empowered me to change my life and I am ecstatic to become part of the coaching team at Mariner Square!

I earned my L1 Certificate on June 29, 2014 and earned my CF Kids Certificate on May 3, 2014.  For my day job, I’m a fourth grade teacher and feel passionate about bringing the joy of fitness and a healthy life to kids!
