I’m the “old man” of the trainer group. I started CrossFit in 2012 At the age of 46 with my family. What we found was not only a great way to get fit and stay fit for life, but also a family activity that bonded us together We gained a much larger family when we started at CrossFit Excess just as it opened in 2014. Some of our closest friendships have grown from our involvement here.

I have been coaching at CrossFit Excess for the past 9 years. My desire to coach grew out of my desire to help other people. This was a way I could help my CrossFit family with a goal of teaching, encouraging and sharing my passion with them. I previously enjoyed coaching wrestling and helping young people succeed at learning a new skill or achieving a new level of success. Coaching all ages at CrossFit has given me that same joy by helping others progress on their fitness journey.

I feel honored to have been given the opportunity to coach at Excess. I look forward to every class I get the opportunity to train as a chance to invest in people and spend time with my “extended family”.
