My wife Jill joined CrossFit 2311 and was having a great time and seeing results. She convinced me to come.

My first impression was that CrossFit was way out of my comfort zone. I had been use to lifting by myself and doing my own routine. I don’t think I could go back to the same type of workout now that I’ve been attending Crossfit2311.

What are you working on now? I am working hard at improving my technique and getting in all of the various squats we do. I am also working on my overall fitness and weight loss.

What was your greatest achievement? Finishing my 1st hero WOD. Hero WODS are long, grueling tributes to those who have died in combat or in service to others. It is group suffering to honor those who gave it all.

What’s your favorite CrossFit 2311 memory? My 1st CrossFit competition at the Revici River Ruckus in Asheville. It is such a great atmosphere and event put on by Ben Williamson and the crew at CrossFit Pisgah. Plus , I had a great team made up of wonderful people!
