I have been married to my amazing wife, Marieke, for eight years, and we rescued our four year old schnauzer named Toby in November. We are blessed with our family and friends.
I started my Crossfit journey three years ago after seeing the benefits my friend, JC, had with it. I thought it could work for me. I was 46 at the time, overweight, had diabetes, and sat at my job for 8 hours a day. I knew I needed to start moving and get back to the gym. Even after three years, each WOD is just as difficult as the next. I constantly push myself through four days a week trying to reverse years of partying. I appreciate all the support I get from everyone in the classes and all the help I get from coaches. I know I can be quiet at first, but as soon as I get to know you, I become more comfortable and will open up. I look forward to continuing my Crossfit journey, and I hope I can sustain this momentum for years to come.
