I never would I have thought that when I was dragged into a CrossFit box three years ago by my then post-second child wife who needed to make a change for herself, and needed support at the first class, that I would be absolutely obsessed with the sport and coaching it.

Little did I know back then that I was on road to destruction, CrossFit pretty much saved my life. Not only that but it managed to take into account so many of my skills and abilities and put them to good use. I cannot find any more joy in life than I do when I get together with our great community and see our athletes better themselves everyday.

What gets me out of bed in the morning?

Three very busy children and knowing that I will be witnessing greatness again and again because our athletes are legends.

What I most look forward to when working with a new client?

Knowing that they are going to surprise themselves and gain back some of themselves that they didn’t know they had or haven’t used in a while by unlocking new potential and confidence.

Outside of work you will find me.

On the sports field supporting my kids, running errands for the household and cooking up a storm in the kitchen. Living the dream as a stay at home Dad and CrossFit coach.
