I did not grow up with a fit lifestyle. I spent most of my youth playing video games, watching anime and being relatively on the heavier side. Watching the characters in my games and TV shows with people working out hard is what inspired me to be more active. Specifically the Rock Lee vs Gara fight. (if you know, you know)

I started rowing and cross country in high school. Followed by conventional weight training at a standard gym in my later teens. This led to me being in better shape than most of my friends. In the summer of 2013 I was utterly dominated in all feats of strength and conditioning by a friend. When I asked him what his secret was he simply replied. “CrossFit”

I've been a member of the CrossFit style of training since 2013. Originally starting at CrossFit Stoney Creek and then moving over to Fit Collective in 2015. Over the years I have competed in several CrossFit events. Have done multiple tough-mudders and spartan races. Over all doing fairly well and even places at a few smaller events. 

The point of this is that it doesn't matter where you started. It doesn't even matter why you started. If you wake up and feel that something needs to change, I’ll be here to help that change happen with my amazing teammates at FitCo!
