Kristen Wiig once told me in 2010, “Put some skates on. Be your own hero.” So I did—and I’ve been playing competitive roller derby ever since. Okay, maybe she just said it in a movie and has no idea who I am, but whatev. I discovered CrossFit in 2016, which opened the door to yoga and later Olympic weightlifting. Snatches, handstand push-ups, and anything gymnasty are totally my jam—and call me crazy, but I don’t mind burpees either!  

What makes all of the above more fun is that my family and I all train together. My wife and I met playing roller derby and my niece plays with the junior league. When I’m not at the gym or on skates, you’ll find me hanging out with the fam and our fur and feather babies or volunteering with our local animal rescue (Rescue Pets of Florida). We’re officially outnumbered at home—there are more Christmas stockings for pets than people 🤣.   It seemed that the sport roller derby was evolving and that my beer, fried food and fishnets agenda was no longer going to cut it. I drank the Kool Aid and joined a functional fitness gym. It was history from there. I couldn’t wait to leave work everyday to get to the gym to see my friends, push myself further and crush some goals. I was shredding lbs, feeling stronger, eating better and smiling way more! From there, I just kept that momentum going.  

CrossFit changed my life in a lot of ways. My goals now involve being strong and healthy and taking care of my body so that it takes care of me later. I’ve learned a lot over the years and I want to share my knowledge and help others be the best version of themselves. Everyone is on a different fitness journey and I love being a part of that.
