About Coach

After playing organized sports constantly as a kid I put that aside to focus on music as a teenager, eventually going on to achieving a Bachelor’s in Jazz Performance and a Master’s Degree in Jazz Composition. One night at DePaul, I was drunkenly volunteered by my friends to be an early morning running partner to one of our crew. The joke was on them because I showed up, ran and actually enjoyed it. My reintroduction to exercise led me to join the university’s gym where I quickly became a regular eventually going on to become a certified personal trainer. This love of fitness informed my life choices as I transitioned in 2006 from being a musician to a firefighter. Shortly thereafter a coworker introduced me to CrossFit and I was instantly hooked. Since then my fitness journey has taken many paths from Crossfitter to competitive weightlifter to boxer to my current focus on fitness, wellness, and fun. When I’m not at the gym or firehouse I can be found rediscovering my passion for visual art and drawing, spending time with my amazing wife, or hanging out with my two best canine friends.
