I started training 16 years ago while serving In the Navy. I was introduced to CrossFit by my team leader during a deployment. It destroyed me. I knew then I had to attack it and become better.

From there my love for power training and Olympic lifting grew. Once I got certified in CrossFit, I decided to pursue more knowledge of Olympic lifting. After the military, I went to school and studied Physical Education and Biomechanics.

I had a great deal of knowledge, but I did not have the wide variety of demographics to make me a successful coach. From there I went to work at a commercial gym. For 6 years I applied all of my knowledge, as well as picking some more along the way, to help almost anyone willing to better themselves.
