What do you do in the real world outside of Pisgah?
I work at a bank in Compliance (bank cop) and live with my family (wife two kids and a dog).
What first brought you to Pisgah, and what was your first impression?
My wife brought me along. She wanted to get back into working out, and I was really just planning on showing up for support. My first impression was that it wasn’t as CROSSFIT!!!!! as I expected. It was very approachable.
What has been your biggest milestone or breakthrough since joining?
I deadlifted 300lbs, and was like wow. That’s a lot of weight. Felt good.
What do you love most about the 5:30am crew?
The support. Whether you want to go hard or you’re barely showing up that day, 5:30 crew is there for it. I don’t really like to workout. Without the people (and the coffee) I could never keep it up.
What are you currently working on? What's your next big CF goal?
Working on endurance mostly. Want to be able to keep moving on longer workouts.
What is a fun fact or hobby you enjoy outside of CrossFit?
I love to play games and sports. My parents still come to my softball games.
Least favorite movement?
Front squats probably. There’s just so many better ways to do a squat.
If you could design your own WOD, what would be in it?
That’s hard. I like the variety in CrossFit. Probably something with rowing and wall balls because I’m good at them (tall people moves!).
