What programs do you coach at CFKSQ?  CrossFit classes.

How long have you been coaching (anything), and how long have you been coaching at CFKSQ? I have been coaching for 6 years, I think 😊

How did you first find CrossFit or functional fitness? I first heard about it in the early 2000s and loved the concept, but it was only a California thing at the time.

What's your favorite movement in a WOD? And what movement could you happily never see again? Favorite? Gymnastics and Olympic lifts. BUT I'm saying the bike, wall balls, and thrusters to have a more positive attitude!

What do you enjoy most about coaching? Seeing athletes get their firsts and hit their goals! Hopefully I can be an example to older athletes that age is but a number and to the younger kids to maximize their athletic potential.

Are there particular populations, age groups, or fitness goals you especially enjoy working with? Honestly, I like working with anyone who wants to better themselves. I love getting people to their "first."

What do you do when you're not at CFKSQ? Cook, drink wine, and travel with my family!

What would the you of today say to your first-day-of-CrossFit you? Same thing as I would back then:  "Suck it up, buttercup, and LFG!"

What's your go-to piece of advice, quote, or mantra?"Keep your world small" or "just keep swimming" in a tough, grindy workout.

If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?

A big ole rib-eye steak with butter or chimichurri on top!
