How has CrossFit impacted your life/what changes have you seen in yourself since starting?
As a former collegiate athlete with a powerlifting background, much if not all of my form was broken down and rebuilt properly by Troy and Pam. Crossfit’s competitive environment allows me to compete with myself and others on a daily basis. I feel that I am in great physical condition and have actually shed much unwanted weight throughout recent months.

Proudest accomplishment inside/outside of CrossFit:
As a linebacker for Indiana University, my proudest accomplishment was receiving the Ted Verlihay Award for Leadership and Mental Attitude. Through CrossFit my proudest accomplishments have been obtaining various PR’s in various lifts, surpassing those from my glory days in college.

3 Month Fitness Goal(s)
Participating in the CrossFit Games Open
Qualifying for Regionals

6 Month Fitness Goal(s)
Compete in various competitions throughout the spring/summer months

Advice for Newbie’s:

Be Teachable! CrossFit is different from any workout regimen that I’ve ever been a part of and therefore much of my form and bad habits have had to be rebuilt. Attempting to move weight that you aren’t prepared for could/will lead to injury and set-backs. Allow Pam and Troy to dissect your form and your performance and numbers will increase. Uncomfortable will become comfortable.
