I’ve been lifting and incorporating various types of fitness into my life since high school. I was a competitive motocross racer for several years and being physically fit and strong made me a better rider. Fitness and strength have been extremely important to me as well in my career as a first responder. I have done crossfit based workouts while being a Firefighter/Paramedic for the past 5 years. I started going to a Crossfit “box” in early 2014. My father-in-law got me to try an open workout (14.2), the competition peaked my interest and I have been doing it since. Like many others, Crossfit has brought that level of competition back to my life. My goals with Fitness Lab, are to continue to grow and learn as a coach and an athlete. Community and fitness are very important to me and I feel I can bring a unique dynamic to the crossfit world from my personal and professional experiences.

I found Crossfit in late 2009 while stationed in San Diego, CA where I was a Rescue Swimmer in the United States Navy. Fitness was a vital component of my job and I was looking for something to help me excel. I developed a passion for Crossfit nearly immediately. I have been fortunate to travel around the world visiting boxes in Dubai, Bahrain, Turkey, Greece, and Spain. This exposure has helped me hone my coaching skills and learn cues from some of the best coaches on the planet. I have been coaching since 2012 and have coached at gyms in California, Florida and Texas. In addition to coaching at FitnessLab CrossFit, I’m currently pursuing my BA in Exercise Science / Physical Therapy at Texas State. I’m also on the Texas State Lifting Team. FitnessLab CrossFit is a special place. We have general CrossFit classes, CrossFit Competitor classes and Olympic Weightlifting classes. I am thrilled that I get to develop the competitor series of programming and share the things that I’ve learned as a competitor. I’m also able to develop my passion for OLY lifting.
