Journey

After working as a software engineer for 10 years, I was sedentary and overweight, so I found a local boot camp and lost over 40 pounds. When I realized I was losing weight but not getting stronger, I discovered CrossFit , and I've never looked back. The community and the constant challenge to get stronger while learning new skills is what keeps me going. As a coach now I can also help others, but we're all on the journey to health and fitness together.

Journey

I have been chasing fitness for most of my life, but didn't find a successful methodology until I found CrossFit in 2015. Like many people I started exercising in my garage, and found some success, but not enough. In 2017 I joined CrossFit HellCat and haven't looked back. In HellCat I found great trainers and an amazing community that have supported my journey. I have a passion for CrossFit and helping people become better versions of themselves for long lasting health and fitness.

Journey

My journey into health and wellness began in elementary school when I started participating in traditional martial arts. As a teenager I sought a more challenging sport so I took up kickboxing, earning the opportunity to compete abroad in countries such as France and Canada. After I stopped kickboxing I aimlessly exercised while pursuing my bachelor's degree. In 2011,while in my second year of college I found CrossFit and never looked back. In June of 2012 I earned my Level 1 certification in CrossFit and began teaching the sport of fitness. Throughout my college years I tested my CrossFit training in different events to include CrossFit competitions, Olympic Weightlifting competitions, and ultramarathons. In 2014 I graduated from the University of Houston with a Bachelor of Arts in Corporate Communications. Six months later I used my foundation of knowledge developed in college in addition to my fitness developed by CrossFit to become an officer in the United States Marine Corps Reserves. I started training with the CrossFit Hellcat crew in the summer of 2017 and found a strong community that I wanted to be a part of. Most recently I earned my Level 2 certification in CrossFit in June of 2017 and was promoted to Captain in the United States Marine Corps Reserves in December of 2018.
