I don't have an athletic background. I was a skater punk and band nerd in school (and I sucked at both of those). But after getting more and more out of shape since exiting the Marine Corps Reserves in 2002, I had to do something. I found CrossFit in 2016 and it completely took over my life. But it was not just the workouts. It was the community I needed too. And I learned about nutrition. I fell in love with the CrossFit methodology. I started out at Evolved Fitness/CrossFit 1017 like everyone in Altus did, then I embedded myself into the CrossFit Ruach family. I started my coaching career at Full Throttle Training and Fitness. Now I proudly own and operate CrossFit Pegasus.

I got out of the USMC Reserves in 2002 and didn't do a thing after that. Despite being a police officer, I was not held to any physical standards and I let myself go. When I got to the point that I needed another shower after getting out of the shower and getting dressed, or taking a breather while lacing up my boots, I knew I needed a change. Some day-shift officers started doing this thing call CrossFit and talked about it all the time. I joined in with them a couple weeks later. That was 2016 and here we are.

My passion is to serve the people in this community that want to better themselves. Whether it be a 23 year old C-17 pilot who wants to be able to stay in shape through the ups and downs of Sims and flight training, or a 58 year old grandmother who wants to be able to get down not the floor and play with her grandkids without pain.
