CrossFit L1
ACE certified personal trainer
Bachelor’s Degree in History
I was born and raised in Winston-Salem, NC in a home where athletics was always a focus. I played baseball, soccer, and basketball while I was younger, but baseball was the one that really stuck for me. After playing baseball competitively through high school, I wanted a break from athletics, and a chance to be a normal college student. So I opted to effectively end my baseball career there. After enjoying my enjoying my early college years In Wilmington, NC, I moved back home to Winston-Salem to finish my collegiate career.
It was after I moved back to home that I found CrossFit. The older brother of a friend of mine, with whom I had grown up playing baseball, had just opened a CrossFit gym. I had never heard of CrossFit, but shortly after hearing about the opening of the gym I caught a replay of the 2011 crossfit games on ESPN. As I watched I remember thinking, “this looks like more fun that what I do in the gym, but I’m pretty sure I can do some of this stuff”. At the time I was doing the typical globo gym workouts, but seeing the CrossFit games reignited my desire for athletic competition that I had been missing in my life since I stopped playing baseball.
I got in touch with my friend’s brother and officially started my life with CrossFit on July 1, 2012. My love for CrossFit has only grown since that point, and I knew that I wanted to help others have the same kind of positive life changing experience with CrossFit that I had. So after working as a personal trainer for a couple years I finally made the jump into coaching CrossFit. Coaching and teaching others has become my passion, and I look forward to coming into CrossFit Pisgah each day and helping others achieve their goals.
