give a brief history about you- life,education, sports, family, travel,

I grew up in Spring Texas. Played football since I was a pup. Graduated from Klein Oak highschool. Accepted a athletic scholarship to play football at TAMU. Started 48 straight games playing Quick Guard cuz I am quick as a cat. Had a bunch of fun playing ball with my buddies. I graduated with a degree in political science in December 07’. After undergrad I worked for a year and a half as a graduate assistant in Recruiting and Football operations for aggiefootball. I left that job last fall to finish up with school. I got into crossift around the same time and have been drinking the kool aid ever since.

give one of your personal crossfit goals-

* Compete with the affiliate team in cali this year
* Become a crossfit manimal and win in the games one day.

I am going to become certified to coach crossfit in the coming months. Depending on what happens with the military after that I would like to train athletes in the crossfit method. One day I want to own and run my own box. I want to fill it with crazed mentally unbalanced athletes who want to make themselves better.
