I have been coaching since 2013 after starting CrossFit in 2011 to stay in shape for rugby. I stayed with CF because of the community and constant challenges, I love being more fit now than I was in my early 20's. I grew up on a farm in a super small town in Iowa, playing all the sports my tiny school offered: softball, volleyball, basketball, and track & field. Outside of the gym I really enjoy cooking, reading, and long walks through scenic hiking trails.

When I was just kind of always at the gym helping people get better. The owner at the time had approached me and was like " hey, I think you'd be a great coach". I hit the ground running and never looked back! 

Coaching is so fulfilling for me, I get to interact with all different types of athletes, watching them progress and grow within their abilities and their confidence.
