Coaching Philosophy:  I truly enjoy helping someone reach a goal and then they realize they can do more.

Coaching Style: Form, Focus, Positive Reinforcement

Background:  Started weight lifting in 1985. Earned a wrestling scholarship, became a professional firefighter and competitive powerlifter, and coached wrestling for 14 years (grade school through high school). Trained "CrossFit style" before CrossFit existed.

Fun Fact: I stay fit so I can go backpack hunting with my boys out west and in Alaska — and hopefully soon with grandkids.

Bio: Retired professional firefighter with 40+ years of lifting experience and 35+ years of programming.
