I found CrossFit in my mid-40s.Lookingfor something to give me a boost.Endedup finding a new path and journey.After being a member for a few years and learning I have avoiceI startedon the path ofcoaching CrossFit.During thattimeI found out I was prettystrongwith a barbell andstartedcompeting in Powerlifting. Whichlead to the Strongman and Highland Games. All of these things work to my advantage when I coach. I love cheering on a new member or helping someone get their first double under. More importantly, I love watching a group of people get through a workout, high-five each other, and make plans to do it all again the next day.

I never would have thought I would be here. Nothing in my life leading up to walking through the Crossfit Local’s door would have said youare going tocompete at a WORLDS level competition in the next5years. I was older, heavy, and not in great physical shape when I started. Making time for myself and learning I amstrongerthan the number on a scale changed my life.

My passion for coaching others is simple. Can’t is really just a bump in the road. A quote I really like is “ IF YOU AREN'T WILLING TO LOOK LIKE A

BEGINNER, YOU'LL NEVER BECOME A MASTER. BEING A LEARNER IS NOT ONLY THE COST OF ENTRY, IT'S THE KEY TO SUCCESS.”
