How did you get into CrossFit?
I first got interested in CrossFit around 2013 while watching the CrossFit Games but didn’t have many resources, and I actually didn't take the plunge until early 2015 when I did my first On Ramp at CrossFit Lion’s Pride.
How long have you been doing CrossFit/coaching?
I’ve been doing CrossFit for about 10.5 years now and coaching for roughly 6 of those. I competed off and on the whole time.
What is something most people don’t know about you?
I ride and build custom motorcycles. I love taking anything apart just to figure out how it works. Putting it back together is usually the part I’m considerably less interested in.
What do you do for work outside the gym?
I own an insurance brokerage, a freight operation, a lawn and landscape company, and a real estate investment entity. I also work selectively as an author and editor for Indiana professional engineering licensure testing.
Family Life
I’m a single dad to two little girls, Thea and Scarlett. We also have a golden retriever named Silas who rounds out the crew.
CrossFit Hot Take
Once you decide you want to learn double unders, you should never do single unders again. Struggle through the doubles until you figure them out.
