Other information:

CCF Since: January 2010 (+3500 CrossFit Classes and counting).

How did you find CrossFit: I was already following the path of "functional training" and didn't really believe in resting long between sets so a friend introduced me to CrossFit saying "this looks like it would suit you", my first WOD was the "300" workout and about 30min later I was sold.. I've been involved in the Fitness Industry for 15 years and already 10 years ago I was asked to educate Personal Trainers and Fitness Instructors very early so when I eventually got involved as the Head Coach at CCF it was pretty much a life coming to a full circle again.

What is your favourite thing about coaching CrossFit: The constant pursuit of improvement and the increase in human capacity that I see around me on a daily basis. May it be a competitive athlete snatching a small house or a beginner getting their first pull up, it's all about the joy I see in our members improving their lives!

Why Cape CrossFit: I started my CrossFit career here and fell in love with the community before I even knew I was gonna be involved in coaching it.

Favorite Quote: Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. (It's tattooed on my ribs..).
