What are you currently doing to try to improve your diet? Not a whole lot yet, but that will change if I do Whole 30. A few months ago my wife and I started the home delivery meal services. They are much healthier than the typical dinner I was eating previously. I very highly recommend them. We have tried nearly every service, so I have coupons to them all if you are interested in trying one.
Favorite movie: Too hard to pick one favorite, but some of my favorites follow: Ocean’s Eleven, Top Gun, Ghost Busters, The Sting, American History X, The Dark Knight, the Original Star Wars Trilogy
Favorite and/or current book: Shantaram. If you haven’t read it yet, you should.
Favorite music genre/artist: I like nearly every genre of music, but my favorite genre is Country. Keith Urban is probably my favorite artist, but the best show I ever saw live was Garth Brooks. I wish I could bring half of the energy he puts into each show to CrossFit each morning
Achievements you’d like to highlight within your life:
It took me 9 years to convince her, but I married the girl of my dreams.
It’s kind of silly to go back to high school athletic achievements, but I was really proud of being second team all-conference in baseball; it was my best individual athletic achievement.
In college my intramural beach volleyball team beat my wife’s team in the play-offs on our way to winning the school championship. Beating her was definitely the highlight though.
I am very excited about my new job. I have always dreamed of working in upper management for a major corporation and I am hopeful that I can leverage this role into that.
List a few things we don’t know about you:
The scar on my stomach is from pyloric stenosis as a kid.
In fifth grade my Odyssey of the Mind team took 7th in the World competition.
Two summers ago I got a piece of pulled pork lodged in my throat so bad that I couldn’t swallow my saliva and I had to go to my wife’s ER to have it removed. Make sure to chew your food!
I am a klutz. The two items of a personal nature listed in my departure email from my last employer were my love for CrossFit and the fact that I dropped a 5 gallon water jug in our office flooding the hallway, spilled a crockpot of chili all over my car en route to the office, and knocked over countless glasses of water on my desk.
In 10 words or less, what does CrossFit mean to you? Community, challenging, rewarding, fulfilling, physically and mentally life-changing
