I’ve lived in 6 states in the last 15 years.
The community.
I was born and raised in rural Ohio. Other than a brief stint as a middle school football lineman, I rarely dabbled in anything close to athleticism. I went away to upstate New York for college, but after two years, mental health struggles, and a dwindling GPA, I dropped out and moved back in with my parents.
That summer I found myself working on an Americorps Trail Crew building hiking trails in the National Forests of Virginia. I started that summer weighing in at 297 lbs and barely able to hike a mile. By the end of the summer, I was swinging a pick for hours on end and had lost 60+ lbs. It was there I learned how much nature and physical activity are both mentally and physically healing.
I came to Crossfit and Swarm in October of 2021. I had recently moved to the area and, having always been intrigued by Crossfit, set up a meeting with Mary to see what Swarm was all about.
My time at Crossfit Swarm has done more for me than just increasing my fitness. I am more dedicated and disciplined than ever before. I care about things like nutrition and rest. As a coach, I want to share that joy, strength, and resiliency with others. I strive to help folks become the best versions of themselves, no matter where they are starting.
