Nine years ago, on an August Saturday, the last thing I wanted to do was go judge my wife’s CrossFit competition – the Delaware Affiliate Challenge. I didn’t even know what that was, nor was I interested. It ended up being the best thing I have ever done, and it has gotten me in the best shape of my life even compared to my high school wrestling days. Although I work a full-time job, I feel that CrossFit is my career. I hold a Level 1, Olympic Lifting, and Gymnastic certificates, and you will learn that I love cleans and snatches. 

I have visited over 25 various CrossFit boxes around the country, and I look forward to bringing new ideas back. I also volunteered at the 2012 CrossFit games in California where I was humbled by the abilities of the top athletes. As a master’s athlete, I have competed in the Granite Games and two Wodapalooza events.  The box has become a second family, and I have formed so many relationships throughout the eight years we have been affiliated. The best thing about CrossFit to me is the community — the power that it brings to the box is unbelievable. The power of success is also a motivating factor for me, as I love to see our athletes meet their goals, no matter how small.
