How did you hear about BattleWolf Crossfit and why did you decide to start crossfit?
I drove past BattleWolf for about 6 months while attending Golds Gym; finally decided to stop in and see what it was about.
I decided to start crossfit because I was not seeing the results I had wanted to at a regular gym. It has always been something that I have wanted to try.
What are some of your goals in and outside of crossfit?
My main goal in crossfit is to achieve a bar/ring muscle up.
My goals outside of crossfit are to become a Journeyman in my profession.
Describe your diet?
I do not really have a set diet, I try to eat clean during the week. The weekends are a different story. Ben LOVES burgers.
What/Who motivates or inspires you?
