Describe your fitness background
My fitness journey began in high school with strength training for football and dreams of playing professionally. Committing to intense training, I discovered a passion for working out. I started helping friends in the gym, obtained a certification, and began a fitness career, which was paused for football. An injury ended my football aspirations, leading me to pursue fitness full-time. I then found a new passion in CrossFit, where competing and coaching further deepened my love for training.
What inspired you to become a coach?
Throughout my entire fitness journey, I found that training helped me feel more in control of my body and mind, rather than being influenced by outside factors. This realization inspired me to become a coach, with the goal of helping others feel the same sense of control and confidence.
What is your favourite exercise movement?
Power cleans and bench press.
When you’re not at the gym, we can find you…
Barbecuing or challenging my friends to Mario Kart.
