Biography

Coaching since: April 2026

With Ballston CrossFit: September 2023

I first learned about CrossFit in middle school when my parent’s gym started a CrossFit kids program. Though I was not particularly athletic, I enjoyed running around and doing air squats with my friends. In high school, the gym’s owner offered adult membership to me and my brother if we would clean the bathrooms: an offer too good to refuse! Thus, began my 10+ year CrossFit journey where I fell in love with the challenge, results, and community. After more than a decade in the sport, I was eager to earn my CF-L1 and help others enjoy the fitness community that has become so special to me.

Now a software engineer by day, I love coming to the gym to hang out and sweat with friends before or after work. Aside from CrossFit, I enjoy practicing guitar, playing board games, walking around D.C. monuments, and convincing everyone that there is nothing more beautiful than an Oklahoma sunset.

I hold the following certifications:

  • CrossFit Level 1 Trainer, CF-L1
