About Coach
I was born and raised in Guilford County where I spent most of my time on my families quail farm--farm strong is a real thing, and something I still strive for everyday! I played softball my entire life and have always been involved with competitive sports--I believe the act of sport molds us, albeit, more mentally than physically. Sometimes I joke that I am too competitive to not be as good as I'd like to be! I moved around after college and realized I needed more and that more was being active in some capacity, that's when I found CrossFit; I was living a life I didn't want to live and I truly believe CrossFit Saved me. CrossFit solidified that discipline, discomfort tolerance, and humility are my pillars in life. Favorite movements: Dumbbell snatches--especially heavy, devils press, and deadlifts!
Turning Point
It hit me that I needed more in life, I felt alone and lost, and realized movement is and will always be medicine. While my physical body needed help my mind needed it more. CrossFit allowed me to work for something, it allowed me to set achievable-realistic goals, and it brought back discipline I was raised to know, which had a direct impact on my life outside of the gym.
Motivation & Passion
My passion and motivation is coaching the ones who don't think they can do CrossFit and helping them learn that every single one of us are capable of doing what we believe is unachievable.
