First and foremost, I am a married, father of three furbabies (or at least thats what my wife, Terrieha, likes to say), pain in the butt son, outdoor enthusiast, and aspiring carpenter; however, most people know me as a coach or athlete. For most of my life I've been involved in athletic events or fitness as either a participant, organizer or coach. This has granted me the opportunity to meet a number of great people, learn a great deal, and see things I never thought possible.
After graduating with my bachelors degree from the
University of Florida in 2005, I decided I needed some time away from school in order to get a better grasp on my ultimate career aspirations. I had spent most of life, and time at UF, anticipating that I would be attending law school but after spending some time around practicing lawyers, I was no longer sure that law school was the right fit. Luckily, fate had already started playing its hand. In mid-2007, I found myself in the position of being offered the role as the executive director for a non-profit youth athletic league in Colorado Springs, which also happened to be home to the
University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, which offered a Masters Degree in Sports Medicine and opportunities with the
National Strength & Conditioning Association. This was of importance to my
wife and I, due to our interest in coaching, exercise science, and athletic development.
