Born and raised in the dreary, yet lovely, northwest corner of the United States, I decided it was time to chase the sun and landed here in Oahu in late 2007. As you so commonly hear, CrossFit steered my life in an entirely new, healthy direction. While never too talented at traditional sports (although I was my senior class 6th period badminton champion), I found that CrossFit was ideally suited for my physical abilities and somewhat thermonuclear energy levels. I developed a serious passion for teaching & sharing CrossFit’s principals & ideology, and I especially love working with newcomers.
