I have always loved fitness, I would say it’s what got me into sports, not the other way around. I was encouraged and motivated to exercise at a young age by my late Papaw.

In high school I ran and jumped in track & field and played football. I also went to my county career center for metal fabrication and welding, and became a certified welder. My love for fitness and health fueled my decision to go to college for Exercise Science. I played college football at Ohio Wesleyan University, and graduated with my Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science in May of 2025.

When I discovered CrossFit shortly after college graduation, I joined CrossFit Grandview. After just a couple of short months, I decided I wanted to be a CrossFit coach, and felt prepared to jump in considering my background knowledge of fitness and health overall. I have truly come to enjoy the high intensity and competitive nature of CrossFit, along with the great community of people it harbors.
