Discovered Crossfit back in 2013 after my first Spartan race.  Became hooked immediately after my first class.  This was the type of workout that I had been searching for.  I was introduced to weightlifting in high school and for years bounced around from big box gym to big box gym.  That workout style just became boring and could never keep me engaged.  Since joining The Garage,  I've been a consistent member for over 10 years and counting.

I have a passion for fitness and a passion for helping others.  Becoming a coach has allowed me to pursue both of those passions and give back to the community that has given me so much.  Outside the gym, I enjoy participating in OCR (Spartan, Savage, Tough Mudder races) and am always looking for new folks to introduce and run with.
