Born and raised in Green Bay, WI, I moved to Florida after I graduated from technical college. After getting my sun on for a few years, I moved a little closer to family to Northeast Ohio. It was here that I bought a house, finished my 2nd degree, and started a family! In July 2010, I moved back to my home state to the city of Wauwatosa (Milwaukee). We love being back close to family and friends.
As of March 2012, I am now full-time self-employed at my gym Badger CrossFit!
Family
I am married and have a young little boy. Most of my life has changed to how I can do better for my family and I look forward to the journey ahead.
Career
I have an entrepreneurial spirit and love to see the potential of opportunities that come my way. In doing so, I've started my gym, Badger CrossFit, in August 2011. I am now self-employed full time.
Fitness & Nutrition
I was walking out of my high school's gym after my last basketball practice senior year when I turned to a teammate of mine and said, "This moment, right now, is going to be the moment where we are in the best shape physically in our entire lives..." I remember thinking to myself after that I am never going to let myself go physically.
From that moment on, I've been immersed into the crazy world of fitness and health. Little did I know, but I am now more fit than I ever was in basketball. I am an active member in the CrossFit community, I own and train at Badger CrossFit, I have competed in Sectional and Regional CrossFit Games, and I have developed many friendships and followings through this and other online avenues. I'm also physically active in other things with my family and our dog.
CrossFit has changed the way I view my overall health. I no longer aspire to big muscles and completely ripped abs and the cycling (bulk vs. cut) that comes with it. It has prepared me for the unprepared. It has got me comfortable with the uncomfortable.
Others need to know about this "fitness awakening" and I hope to dedicate my time and energy to make that happen. Fitness is not just for the physical benefits. The entire body, mind and soul and spirit benefit from a better you once the complete fitness profile is attained. CrossFit does that. You will know what I mean if you try it. Or better yet, stop by my place for a workout. You'll wonder how you thought you were in "shape" before.
