When did you start doing CrossFit?
July 5, 2018 - walked in and signed up for the year.
What were you doing before Crossfit?
Getting old and fat.
Tell us something we might not know about you.
I have my PhD in Biomechanics from Auburn University. War Eagle!!!
What advice would you give someone just starting at Coyote?
PR or ER....no just kidding. Slow and steady...every time I read the tortoise and the hare, the tortoise always wins!
Do you have any special memories/achievements during your time at Coyote?
Love the 6:30 am crew (Jeff, Corey, John, Kyle, Kathy, Liv, and Coach Addison). In my first year I did a WOD every weekday except Christmas Day since the gym was closed. That totaled 261 WODS for the year. It was actually a few more due to some Saturday WODs. With my work travel I visited 34 affiliates in addition to Coyote. I stopped getting T-shirts after the first 10 since my closet was just CrossFit T shirts. So far I am 22/22 for Year 2 as of this email. Trying to repeat for Year 2.
Has CrossFit affected your life outside of the gym?
Most definitely. Feel better (well besides the muscle soreness). More energy. The wife likes the improvements ;)
Tell us a little about yourself (family, job, sports, interests, etc.)
Married to the best wife ever, Joanna. Have three wonderful kids, Jayden, Jordyn, Jaxson. When not home mowing grass and taking care of the farm animals (horse, two goats, pig, seven chickens, house cat, house dog & barn cats), I am busy at work as an Insurance Adjuster.
What were your thoughts after your first WOD?
Meredith, just shoot me now!
What were your goals when you joined Coyote?
To stop getting old and fat.
Have you achieved any of these goals?
Not any younger age wise but feel a lot younger and have shed some body fat.
What is your favorite cheat meal?
Yes. That’s not a legitimate question. I mean, that’s like asking what’s your favorite movie. Too many good ones to pick just one.
What is your Least favorite WOD?
