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
