Why did you start CrossFit?When I started I was 347lbs!! I worked in sales and traveled out of town with two or three overnights a week. I ate like I was still playing College football. A friend suggested I check out the web-site. Since I enjoy Olympic Lifting, I gave it a try. On August 14, 2007 my journey began with a date and her name was ” NANCY”! 47 minutes later my wife kept coming out checking on me to make sure I didn’t die!! She told me I couldn’t leave her with 2 small kids (now we have 3)!
