Athletic Background

Played basketball in high school and college. I also danced and did gymnastics till 8th grade.

Food

I Paleo almost year round, but when I cheat I love beer, sushi, pizza, burgers, and Doritos. I also have a huge weakness for chocolate chip cookies and ice cream–its even worse when they are sandwiched together!

Bar: What barbell do you use when you lift?

Rogue Bella Bar

Bumpers: What bumpers do you train with?

Rogue Full Color Competition Bumpers

Shoe: DoWin or Nike?

Rogue DoWin’s

Fill in the blank:

I like…to eat, sleep, spend time with my friends/family, spend time with my dog, Katie, and bbq at the beach!

I eat…meat and veggies most times, but crave sushi, pizza, burgers, cookies, ice cream, and Blue Moon.

I do…believe everything happens for a reason and try to enjoy the journey.

I am…happy and lucky that I get to do what I love and that I love what I do.

Something people would be surprised to know about you:

I had 2 surgeries in college both because of injuries sustained playing basketball. I had an inferior capsular shift on my right shoulder, then a year later I had ACL reconstructive surgery on my left knee. Both my shoulder and knee have been better since CrossFitting!
