What year did you start CrossFitting?

2013

Why did you get into fitness (and CrossFit)?

As a swimmer throughout my youth and college years, I was always active and part of some kind of team. “Adulthood” left a huge void in my life and I searched for a long time for the training environment and camaraderie that was such a key part of my life for so long. When I chanced upon the methods and community at San Francisco CrossFit it was everything I was searching for.

Why did you become a trainer?

Large portions of my swimming career were spent nursing nagging injuries, and I never was as good as I could have been. When I started to learn about fitness and recovery after college, I realized how much more I could have accomplished if I’d simply had the knowledge and the tools. I coach because I want to give others the physical and mental tools to lead better, fuller lives and achieve whatever it is that they’re passionate about.
