How did you learn about CrossFit Kalamazoo? My wife, and life coach Nicole of CFK told me it would be “fun” sort of like how vegetables are good for you. There is always a challenge and room to grow, so now I'm hooked.
 
How has CrossFit Kalamazoo changed your life, lifestyle, and level of fitness? CrossFit has definitely improved my general fitness and range of motion. 
 
List short/long term goals you would like to accomplish through CrossFit Kalamazoo: that's a long list….let's see. double-unders, muscle ups, and overhead squats are a continuing challenge. I would also like to be more competitive in Festivus next year.

What are you currently doing to try to improve your diet? um…..yeah diet. Go health!
 
Favorite movie: Dances with Wolves
 
Favorite and/or current book: I read a lot, so it's hard to narrow it down. I am a Stephen King fan, especially the Dark Tower series. For a good laugh read a John Locke book. 
 
Favorite music genre/artist: Depends on the day. Best song ever written was Beethoven's “moonlight” sonata. Followed closely by Marche Slave by P.I. Tchaikovsky. Then Walk by Pantera. Good little tunes.
 
Achievements you’d like to highlight within your life: 
I can touch my nose with my tongue. Got that goin' for me. 
 
List a few things we don’t know about you: 
Bet you didn't know my previous answer. I can hold my breath for almost a couple seconds. I have the record for most failed attempts at being rich.
 
In 10 words or less, what does CrossFit mean to you? It means I won't be the same next year. (only 9 words dang)
