About Coach

I am a lifelong athlete and fitness enthusiast. After spending most of my high school years dedicated to sports and weightlifting, I decided to pursue a career in that field. I discovered CrossFit while researching training & fitness certification courses. It looked like a lot of fun, so I signed up! Immediately following, I joined a local box, fell in love with the awesome local community, and began my coaching career. I’ve since spent years improving my coaching. I focus on teaching immaculate form, injury prevention, and foundational basics of the sport. Through CrossFit, and while training with the University of Michigan Weightlifting Team, I discovered Olympic Weightlifting. I enjoyed this enough to train to compete at Weightlifting Nationals. It is my goal to compete in the Nationals every year. I enjoy every aspect of the coaching profession but spending time each day getting to know people and helping improve their lives is what I find the most fulfilling.
