CROSSFIT

I have a passion for helping adults move better and for sharing my own journey on the path to better movement. The reason I got into coaching was because I wanted to the keys to the city, or more specifically Venture CrossFit, so I could work out early in the morning. The owner said the only way to get a key was to become a coach and little did I know it would help me unlock a passion.

As we age, we tend to sit more, move less, and eat worse than at earlier points in our lives. When I get in front of a class of fitness fanatics, my goal is to offer suggestions on better movement patterns, different ways to increase capacity under load, or just go faster.

Coaching is not a lot different than my own journey. When I started CrossFit, I couldn’t properly execute an overhead squat, catch a barbell in the front rack, or even succeed in a metcon that was more than 2 minutes long.

On my own journey I have enjoyed sharing the failures with folks because that makes the success that much sweeter. I didn’t start doing gymnastics until I was 47 years old and didn’t have my shoulder repaired until I was 50. Since those 2 stops on my journey to better physical movement, I have been able to make it to the CrossFit Age Quarterfinals for 2 straight years.
