I truly believe that all it takes is one positive influence to change the course of someone’s life, and that can come in many forms. I have been fortunate to spend almost 15 years in the fitness industry, coaching in different aspects across the country. I moved home to Johnstown 6 years ago and have been coaching CrossFit locally since! Growing up I played soccer, swam competitively, and still love to play the drums.

After I got out of the military I stopped working out and, combined with a poor diet and lifestyle choices, my health and mental condition deteriorated rapidly. I was overweight and depressed until a friend of mine at Penn State dragged me to my first CrossFit class. The rest is history!

My purpose of coaching is to empower others and show them that they are capable of way more than they think!
