Biography
​
I started doing CROSSFIT 6 years ago to improve my overall health. Body Armor was my first and only box and I was only attending twice a week. Shortly after joining I added the Olympic Weight Lifting class to my weekly routine. The Strongman class was initiated a few months later and the rest is history as they say. Here we are six years later and not only am I a member but I have earned my Level 1 Fitness Certificate and look forward to earning my Level 2 in the next year. I also get to coach the Strongman class which was my favorite sport as a child. I highly enjoy the culture and atmosphere of Body Armor. Coaching the Strongman class is icing on the cake and gives me the opportunity to give back to Body Armor.
