Classes you currently coach?

Iโ€™ve been coaching a couple of classes on Saturday; if you donโ€™t see me there, you can find me participating in the 5 AM class Monday-Friday.

Years as a crossfitter and coach?

Iโ€™ve been doing CrossFit for a little over two years now. I started CrossFit up at CrossFit Ironspider in Salem while finishing grad school at Endicott. Eventually moved down to Dorchester and joined CrossFit Southie, where Iโ€™ve been for the past year. I passed my L1 in September and started coaching in December.

Your favorite part of being a CrossFit coach?

Since starting CrossFit, Iโ€™ve always looked up to and appreciated the coaching Iโ€™ve received on a weekly basis. My goal is to help share and teach everything Iโ€™ve learned over the years and help the CrossFit Southie community with their respective CrossFit journeys.

Your Favorite WOD and Movement?

My favorite movement is a tie between a Snatch and a Bar Muscle-Up. My favorite workout has to be Annie (50,40,30,20,10) Dubs & Sit-ups; I probably did this almost every Friday when I first started; a simple but effective workout.

Athletic background (sports you played in high school and/or college)

Growing up, I played Football, Basketball, and Lacrosse. Eventually went on to play Division III lacrosse at Endicott College up in Beverly, Massachusetts, as a 4-year varsity athlete and captain.

Small piece of advice for Newbies and/or Veteran athletes

Donโ€™t be intimidated by CrossFit or the community; whether youโ€™re doing CrossFit to stay in shape, be a better person, compete, etc., embrace the journey and have fun. Thereโ€™s no better community out there than CrossFit Southie.

Fun Fact, most people donโ€™t know about you.

While finishing Grad-School up at Endicott, I drove the Zamboni for the Menโ€™s Ice Hockey Team.

What do you enjoy about the CFS Community?

I canโ€™t say enough about the CFS community; my favorite part of the day is showing up for class, minus the 4:30 AM wake-up; I still havenโ€™t gotten used to that. But the atmosphere, people, and events make the challenging workouts and new skills that much easier and more enjoyable.
