How long have you been doing CrossFit?
In 2015, I had a martial arts instructor give me an ultimatum; an hour of CrossFit or an hour of ground fighting. I picked CrossFit and fell in love.
Favorite movement:
Anything heavy overhead: snatches, devils press, shoulder to overhead
Least favorite movement:
Rowing is one of my weakest movements, it’s a constant work in progress.
Favorite hobby outside of the gym:
I love the Hawaii sunshine so any opportunity I get to be outside, I take it. I ran cross country in high school and I took up cycling a few years back so as much as I love strength and cardio in the CrossFit gym, I also love testing my endurance outside of the gym.
