With over 17 years of experience in health, fitness, and strength and conditioning, I’ve dedicated my life to helping others unlock their potential. My journey began in my teenage years and early twenties, where I immersed myself in the worlds of bodybuilding and powerlifting. My mission was simple: build as much muscle as possible and constantly chase new PRs. As a naturally tall and slim guy, packing on size felt like a monumental achievement, and I was hooked.

Back then, my life revolved around the gym—training hard and eating more protein than I thought humanly possible. My passion for fitness naturally led to conversations with friends, family, and fellow gym-goers, and soon I found myself sharing tips and helping others with their own training journeys.

But despite my strength, I had little to no cardiovascular fitness. I’d heard of CrossFit and watched the Games online, intrigued but hesitant. I feared losing the muscle I’d worked so hard to build. In 2015, I finally took the plunge with my wife and we attended our first CrossFit class. That workout—packed with barbell movements, running, and jumping—left me flat on the floor, drenched in sweat and gasping for air. It was a wake-up call.

Since then, I’ve never looked back. CrossFit has completely transformed not just my fitness but my perspective on what true health looks like. Now, as the owner of CrossFit Onen, I’m passionate about sharing the magic of CrossFit with our community, helping people from all walks of life discover their strength, resilience, and love for fitness. Whether you’re stepping into the gym for the first time or chasing your next big goal, I’m here to guide you every step of the way!
