How you got started at CFSC: Nutrition Challenge at my office introduced us to Buffy and Tiara.  It’s all been a blur since then.

Favorite CrossFit movement: I was never into lifting weights so every movement has had their learning curve. Deadlifts, rowing and pistols are my jam now.

Least favorite CrossFit movement: Anything at 5 am but especially handstands.

Favorite healthy food/meal: Nothing beats a good steak and sweet potatoes.

Favorite part about CFSC: All the people we’ve met and become friends with and continue to meet.  I look forward to going to the gym more than any kind of workout I have ever done.

Something we don’t know about you: I love anything with 2 wheels.  I have a pair of Ducati’s that I track throughout the year.  I am an avid mountain biker too.

Words of wisdom for people who are new to CrossFit or interested in trying it: L-I-S-T-E-N to the coaches, they really do know what they’re talking about.  Be patient with yourself and have realistic goals/expectations…they will come in time.
