Age: 37

Occupation: AT&T Engineer

CrossFit-ing since: 10/09

Something other members wouldn’t know about you: I cook, I have a US Patent for an engineering concept, I was, at one point, the youngest Fire Instructor in Ohio. I skated the team flag around the rink in front of 18,400 people at an NHL game. I also dabble with photography and some of my underwater pictures have been published.

Biggest accomplishment you think can be attributed to CrossFit: How much room do I have? I’ve lost 40 pounds, and went from a body fat percentage of over 30 to 14.6 (and getting better ). Resting Heart rate change from 92BPM to 64BPM.

Favorite WOD: Diane/Charleston 9 – Handstand pushups rock!

Least favorite WOD: 800/400 run/ anything with OHS or Snatch.

What do you do outside of CrossFit: Avid SCUBA diver including TEC/Decompression diving.

A quote that inspires you: A strong leader is always training his replacement. If not, he is letting his crew down and not preparing them for the future.
