About Coach

‍

On February 10th, 2018, I walked into a local competition with a friend. I knew nothing about what was going on besides it was fitness. I saw a large convention hall filled with really fit people. They were throwing up big weights, doing synchro movements, and working as a team. I fell in love! I told my friend "I want to do that." I drank the Kool-Aid and never looked back. I found and joined my first CrossFit gym in August 2018. From there I signed up for every partner or team competition I could find. My team even qualified for the scaled division at the Granite Games prior to the pandemic. Before I discovered CrossFit, I knew that I loved group fitness from doing workouts at Lifetime Fitness and finding like-minded folks that thought it'd be fun to row a marathon with me after watching the 2018 CrossFit Games. I loved to run and get dirty at Spartan races where I'd cheer on strangers. I was even willing to run a full marathon! I have an all-or-nothing mindset and my fitness gets my all. I love to hang out after my workout and watch the next class put in the work. I love to cheer on my peers as they push their limits and reach new personal bests. Outside of the gym, one of my favorite hobbies is PC video games. If the weather is gorgeous, I try to find somewhere new to hike or explore as I continue to find my footing in the Drexel Hill area after moving here in December 2021 with just my cats and what I could fit in my car.
