I grew up in the SCV played basketball at Hart High School and fell in love with lifting weights at the local Golds Gym way back in 1987.  I continued my love of fitness with the US Marine Corps then life/kids/career happened.. I started CrossFit in 2010 at Cross Fit SCV as a way to get back into shape and picked up my CrossFit L1 certificate around 2012.  When CrossFit SCV closed its doors in 2014 I tried a few other local gyms but decided it was finally time to open my gym and with the blessing of the original owner (thanks Ben!) we continued the name of Santa Clarita Valley's original CrossFit Gym.

In 2010 I was about to turn 40 and realized I had become fat, out of shape, and unhealthy.  I needed a radical change and the moment I walked through the doors at CrossFit I knew I had found the answer.  It was scary and I remember trying for months to "get into shape enough to start CrossFit" which never happened.  Ultimately I bit the bullet and just showed up which turned out to be the best decision of my life.  It was hard but not scary, I was provided with all the tools, and all I needed to do was show up, and that's what we still tell people today!

My purpose in coaching is to help people live longer, healthier, and happier lives.  I've coached everyone from people on their first day ever working out to CrossFit Games athletes and there is a common denominator to success - do the work, eat the food, get the sleep, and have no excuses.  Do these things and you will live longer, healthier, and happier.
