About Coach
I'm married and we have 3 awesome kids. My whole family does CrossFit and I love the fact that we can get fit and stay fit together.
Turning Point
I remember a specific time at age 24 when I took an inventory of my life and came to the conclusion that I was a person that would set goals and never achieve them. From that point on, I committed to change and to become a person who completes his goals. I love setting and achieving my own goals and also helping others achieve theirs.
Motivation & Passion
Being a chiropractor has helped me realize the importance of maintaining fitness and mobility as we age. I see all sorts of injuries in my office, from sports injuries to work related injuries. By far, the worst injuries are those that are the result of decades of living a sedentary lifestyle. Because of my unique perspective, I consider it a personal mission to help others in their quest to maintain fitness as they age.
