I work as a Lead Firmware and IOT Engineer for Philip’s Lighting. I like playing cricket and tennis to stay active when i am not at the gym. 

What were you doing before you joined CS&F? I was a member at CrossFit Indulto for 3 years in sandy springs.

Favorite music to work out to?  Nothing Specific, any workout playlist on Spotify works for me.

Favorite Cheat meal? Cakes.

What were your goals when joining CS&F and have you achieved them? Had a break because of injury and covid for about 18 months. Staying active and fit was my goal joining CS&F. I have always believed CrossFit programming had brought a discipline and balance in my life.

Do you have any other special memories/ achievements during your time here?  Getting my first muscle up.

What advice would you give to a newbie just joining Cumming Strength and Fitness?  Have realistic goals. Always ask the coach if what you are doing is correct. Do not get carried away by looking at others in class. Having to comeback to gym again is better than staying home with injury.

Something we might not know about you is? Cooking is my stress buster and a decent one at it.
