When did you start doing CrossFit?

I first started doing Crossfit April 16, 2016. At the time, I had never heard of Crossfit  and wanted to know what it was all about. I have been doing personal training 3 times a week since then.

What were you doing before Crossfit?

I have worked with trainers on and off for the last 20 years. I would consider myself a non-athlete before starting Crossfit.

Tell us something we might not know about you.

My personal life has been in transition over the last year. Both of my parents are aging and require a lot more help. I am grateful to be able to help them in the later part of their lives as they have always helped me. Also i am grateful and happy to have become a father in the last year to a 31-year-old young man form Louisiana. My role as a father supersedes all my other roles in life. This by far, is the most important role in my life.

What advice would you give someone just starting at Coyote?

Get through the first 4-6 weeks.
