HOW DID YOU FIRST GET EXPOSED TO CROSSFIT? Take us back to your first WOD.... what was it, anyhow did it feel?   Fellow swimmer and roommate Sam Legrand introduced me to CrossFit Absecon and I joined soon after him. My first workout was on a cardio day at it was exactly like rescue swimmer school. High intensity rowing sprints with box jumps and running.

"I’ve gotten so much stronger since joining in all of my lifts. I feel like I’ve become more of a functional athlete that transfers perfectly towards my job.

I’ve taken recovery and stretching and overall well being more seriously since joining. Mainly to keep myself healthy through the week so I can perform at 5+ workouts a week.
