I was hooked from that first workout, and CrossFit has been a constant ever since. It’s made me stronger, faster, and more resilient - not just physically, but mentally too, giving me balance in a high-stress career. HSP has been my home from day one, and the community is what makes it so special. Every class feels like family, and I love watching people achieve things they never thought possible. Coaching was a natural next step for me - helping athletes, whether brand new or experienced, get just a little better every day. Outside the gym, I’m a husband, dad of three, Halloween enthusiast, backpacking nut, and fan of Japanese performance cars. My favorite movements are the technical ones - gymnastics and Olympic lifts - though, like most, I’ve got a "love-hate" relationship with burpees and wall balls.

I first started CrossFit in 2012 after watching the 2011 CrossFit Games on ESPN and becoming fascinated by what the athletes were capable of doing at the Games. From there, I began implementing CrossFit workouts into my training and the rest is history. Aside from the training aspect, coaching and helping others progress was something I became extremely passionate about. This led to getting the CrossFit Level 1 certification and, a few years down the road, the Level 2 certification. Whether it’s someone totally new to health and fitness or a seasoned competitor, seeing the proverbial lightbulb go off in someone’s head and being able to play a small role in that is extremely rewarding. Knowing someone’s life could literally be changed through coaching and caring brings a deep sense of purpose to what we do each time we take the floor to coach.

My college coach introduced me when he had us doing CrossFit in the offseason one year. Once I graduated, I knew I would go back to it because it combines all the things I love about being active: getting stronger, building endurance, and a little bit of competition. :) I started coaching because I love to be able to help others advance their skills and be a part of them finding joy in fitness. At HSP, both the athletes and coaches want to see me succeed, so walking into this environment, I knew on day 1 that it would be the place for me. I knew I would be able to help others grow just as much as the place would help me grow. I have been a competitive swimmer my whole life, just finishing up my career as a D1 athlete at the University of Delaware. There, I got my degree in Kinesiology with a minor in disability studies, so I have loved being able to study movement and applying it to fitness and activity. I am currently a Master's student getting my degree in Prosthetics and Orthotics and plan to graduate March of 2027. I am originally from Connecticut so I think it is cool to meet all the Connecticut/northern people who have moved down here! CrossFit Level 1 Trainer (CF-L1)
