I am a certified CrossFit Level 1 Trainer and have also recieved my CrossFit Weighlifting, CrossFit Gymnastics, and Crossfit Mobility certifications. I truly believe with all my heart that crossfit can provide everything necessary to deliver a long and healthy life. However, I also believe that CrossFit is simply a tool for achieveing fitness goals and like any other tool its effectiveness depends on several factors:

1. The person implemeting the tool's willpower and desire to learn how to properly weild the tool.

2. The access to and desire for good instruction on how to use said tool.

These beliefs help to shape my outlook on my own training ability. I believe in constantly striving to better myself in not just my physical ability but my mental ability as well. My training will never be done and there will always be something more for me to learn. I take pride in being knowledgeable about what I'm discussing as well as being able to relate information in a fun and easily understandable way.

As far as my athletic past, I played soccer in highschool and that is the only sport I was ever really interested in. I have as of the past several years taken a deep interest in olympic lifting and endeavor to build up a vast knowledge-base for instructing people on this. Like most people there have been times in my life where fitness was not a priority. When my wife and I started CrossFit I was 65 lbs heavier and wildly out of shape. CrossFit has helped me find a passion for my own health and has also provided a community of people who help to hold me accountable, and for that I will be eternally grateful.
