"I ALWAYS STAYED FIT THROUGH LIFTING WEIGHT DURING MY

20'S, THEN REALLY FELL IN LOVE WITH ROAD CYCLING AND FROM

THERE ON WAS PRIMARILY A CYCLIST RIDING THOUSANDS OF MILES

EVERY YEAR. I CONTINUED WEIGHT TRAINING A PART OF MY ROUTINE,

PLAYED PICK UP VOLLEYBALL AND ICE HOCKEY ALL THROUGH MY LIFE

TO STAY FIT ALONG WITH CYCLING. IN 2010 MY WIFE TALKED ME INTO

TRYING CROSSFIT AT THE AGE OF 40 AND FROM MY FIRST CLASS I

WAS HOOKED. I GOT STRONGER THAN I HAD EVER BEEN FAIRLY

QUICKLY AND BEGAN COMPETING IN CROSSFIT AS A MASTERS

ATHLETE. MOSTLY, I LOVED THE CLASS ASPECT OF

CROSSFIT- LEARNING THE MOVEMENTS AND WATCHING PEOPLE

IMPROVE THEIR FITNESS. DURING CLASSES PEOPLE WOULD TELL

ALWAYS TELL ME THAT THEY THOUGHT I WOULD MAKE A GOOD

COACH, SO I DECIDED TO TAKE MY LEVEL 1 IN 2018 AND PASSED! I

BEGAN COACHING IN 2019 AFTER BRINING MY COACHING INTEREST TO

THE ATTENTION OF MY GYM, EXP. SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE BEEN

COACHING 1-2 NIGHTS A WEEK!

‍

THE MAIN REASON I COACH IS TO HELP PEOPLE ACHIEVE

THEIR GOALS, WHETHER ITS LIFTING A CERTAIN WEIGHT,

ATTEMPTING A NEW MOVEMENT OR HELPING THEM

COMPETE IN OTHER SPORTS. I JUST LOVE THE PROUD LOOKS

ON THE ATHLETES FACES WHEN THEY ACHIEVE THEIR GOALS!

IT MAKES ME FEEL PROUD TO KNOW I HELPED THEM IN SOME

SMALL OR LARGE WAY!

‍

I MAY NOT BE AS STRONG AS I USED TO BE NOW AT AGE 53, BUT I STILL

TRY TO MAINTAIN THE BENCH MARKS I SET IN MY EARLY 40'S. BEING

ABLE TO HANG WITH THE YOUNG GUNS FROM TIME TO TIME MAKES ME

REALIZE WHAT I'M DOING AT CROSSFIT IS STILL AFFECTIVE, AND CAN

LEAD TO A MORE ACTIVE LIFE IN THE FUTURE. MY PERSONAL FITNESS

PHILOSOPHY IS DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY AND KEEPS YOUNG

FEELING YOUNG AND INSPIRED!
