Since 2024, I have worked as a full-time group fitness coach in Seattle. Fitness has been an integral part of my life since early childhood, beginning with playing hockey in upstate New York.
I have been a member of every type of fitness facility, from Planet Fitness to CrossFit gyms to a cash-only underground bodybuilding gym in Brooklyn. I jumped headfirst into CrossFit in 2014, which led me to a range of competition experiences including Olympic weightlifting, strongman, and obstacle course racing. In 2020, I tried my hand at firefighting and emergency medicine - enduring the PT and drills of a volunteer fire academy.
In recent years, I have come to realize how my outlook on fitness and movement is most deeply rooted in skateboarding. Finding a flow state, and moving because you want to move. For me, it is so much more than "being healthy" or "fitness" and more akin to why a skateboarder skates, a climber climbs, an artist paints.
