I'M GLAD YOU'RE HERE

MY STORY

I was 38 when it all came together. I wasn't morbidly obese, but I was worried. I was afraid I was going to end up like everyone else in my family: struggling with obesity and low energy.

"Maybe it's just in my genes." I had nearly given up.

Then I looked at my 3-month-old child – my third child, in fact – and it hit me: I need to be HEALTHY.

A friend invited me to try a CrossFit Class. I didn't want to go. I was nervous. And that one one class, changed the trajectory of my life.

I didn't transform overnight. In fact, it was months before I noticed any change in my body. I just knew that there were other dudes in the class that were older, fatter, and way more fit than me and I needed that to change.

Then... I started getting better, stronger, faster. I started eating for my goals. Consistency was my key.

In 2014, I tried a local competition and DIDN'T get dead last. I took 6th out of about 100. I was hooked. In 2016, I hoped to qualify for the Games as a 40-year-old. I missed the mark (by a long shot). I tried again at 41-years-old and missed qualifying by over 20 places. Finally... at age 42, I made it. And I've won every year since 2019.
