I found CrossFit during college to help get in shape for football, and after that I was hooked. I shifted my focus from becoming a high school cosch to going all in with affiliates and trying to be competitive. I always loved the Glassman quote that said “the needs of the Olympic athlete and the grandmother vary by degree, not kind”. That let me know ANYONE can find a healthier version of themselves here, in and environment that’s meaningful and more than surface level.

I’ve qualified for regionals every year since 2014, and been to the games 4 (should have been 5- thanks covid).

I was a Tightend at Delta State University, studying history and education.

I grew up with some family members with addiction and serious health problems. I always want to be an example for my little girls of what taking control of your health (to the best of your ability) looks like. Not through absolutes, or strong wave fads, but a deliberate deep work on self and habits.
I want to empower people to be the hero of the story for their families. To be available for whatever is necessary physically and mentally. After having kids that passion was just turned up a notch, because I know first hand the benefits of being an active parent, healthy spouse, and able bodied human for whatever life may throw my way.
