Raised in Maryland with a background in weight training, mixed martial arts and brazilian jiujitsu. Professionally I have been an Elevator Mechanic for over 20 years. I started crossfit at Strength United in June 2021 to add conditioning back to my workouts that I have missed since no longer competing in martial arts. When not at the gym, I am kept busy at my 2 kids sporting events, horse back riding competitions, or at a local Sprint Car race. The thing I enjoy most about coaching at S.U. is assisting members with achieving their goals, whether it’s a PR for a lift, perfecting a movement, or simply beating their time in a previous workout. I love heavy power cleans and hand stand push ups, hate thrusters and burpees !
