I moved to DFW after high school and have lived in the area for the past 15 years. I don’t really have a hometown, so I guess Dallas is my hometown by default. “Whoo-hoo!! The two sweetest words in the English language! De. Fault. De. Fault.,” as Homer Simpson might say.
I came across CrossFit in 2013 after moving in across the street at The Winsted. I had sprained my back pretty severely in 2003, and my athletic activities had been essentially non-existent since. Unhappy with how I looked and how I felt; my New Year’s Resolution for 2013 was to run one 5k a month. I started running here and there, but my weak back was hindering my performance. So I made an appointment with AIRROSTI for the day before the 2013 Hotcake Hustle (my first race). The first treatment helped significantly, but I still thought I was going to die after the race. (By the way, I did run 12 5k’s and even finished 3 duathlons in 2013.) I went back to AIRROSTI for several more treatments and was improving rapidly, but I wasn’t getting what I wanted out of just running. So, I emailed EDCF because I had noticed the gym right across the street. Knowing I needed to get back in shape and knowing I wasn’t going to be able to do it on my own, I joined in April of 2013 and haven’t looked back!
I am a CrossFit Level 1 coach. I have always loved teaching, mentoring, and coaching. I have an incessant need to help people. I thoroughly enjoy seeing the proverbial light bulb turn on when somebody gets something for the first time! I coach primarily on Wednesday evenings, but you’ll see me in class throughout the week! See you at the box!
