Tell us a little bit about yourself (family, job, sports, military, interests, etc.). Luck to have a gorgeous,smart, and fit wife of 20 years along with 2 daughters that compete in cheer and dance. I am the VP of Sales for PebbleTec. PebbleTec focuses on pool finishes and outdoor living elements. Growing up I wrestled and played soccer.  I missed that competition atmosphere and was so thankful CS&F has now filled that void. 

What were you doing before you joined CS&F? Drinking beer, eating pizza, and talking about the athlete I used to be.  Then my wife took a picture of me and told me to try crossfit. It was hard to see, Kate loves to humble me.

Favorite music to workout to? Gangsta Rap!!!!

Favorite Cheat meal? Sandwiches

What were your goals when joining CS&F and have you achieved them? At first, it was to lose 15lbs and gain strength. Now it has evolved to having fun, continue to involve myself with the awesome community, improve technique, work hard everyday but not too hard I can't come back the next day

Do you have any other special memories/ achievements during your time here? 

• Competing in the Summer Classic with David Bolton in 22.
• Competing in the Summer Classic with the DadBods in 23.
• Murph, 12 days of Christmas, Annual Christmas party.
• 1st time I beat Kate in a workout.

What advice would you give to a newbie just joining Cumming Strength and Fitness? 

• Don't be nervous, you have a room full of people that are cheering you on.
• Listen to your body. Don't go so hard you can't come back the next day.
• Trust the process. It's just easier that way.
• Log your score so you can see improvements over time.
• The members are excited to meet you so make yourself available.

Something we might not know about you is? I can kick a 50 yard field goal (bet me):):)
