Hometown: Woodbine, Maryland

I first learned about this whole “CrossFit” thing from one of my teachers in High School. He told me something about “weird ‘kippering’ pull-ups”. After my first www.crossfit.com workout, I was absolutely hooked (after I got done throwing up . . . true story).

I started my coaching “career” by teaching some of my friends how to do workouts with me in the North Carolina State weight room. Then, I ended up meeting Christmas Abbott and became a coach at her gym for a few years. Upon graduating from North Carolina State, I moved back to Maryland and opened my own facility, Blue Crab CrossFit. After about 1.5 years of running that facility, I moved to Florida to be closer to my fiance, Shelby (who was stationed there for the Navy). Well, Shelby and I got married a few months ago and the Navy moved her to San Diego! After attending several gyms in the area, we decided that Outlier CrossFit is where we wanted to call “home” for a while before we move to Japan in November!
