1. Tell us about yourself
A life long soccer player that has turned into a gym rat while enjoying my new love of personal training. Trying to bring my experience & love of fitness to the masses.
2. Why are you a part of The OCR Buddy community?
I originally joined to help bring awareness of the great app that was created to put all races in one place but it has turned into a love of spreading the community we have created to as many as I can.
3. How did your OCR journey start?
4. What is your best race story? (Editors note: He answered both in one)
It started at Rugged Maniac 2016 in Atlanta. A friend wanted me to join their team & I was looking for something to fill in the time during the off season from soccer but it quickly became a full on passion that truly enjoy the competition & community it has grown into.
5. Who or what inspires or motivates you?
What inspires me is the drive to never settle for less that I can do. To be able to keep on doing what I enjoy as long as my body will let me. Motivated by bringing in the ones off the couch to the course & seeing the pure joy when they complete something they’d never though of doing before.
6. If you could race any race in the world which race and why?
Spartan in Greece. It’s a bucket list trip for me & adding in a trifecta there would be just awesome.
7. What are your goals for this year?
Minimum 3x trifecta with as many complete races as possible
8. What team are you involved with and why?
Have been involved with Oscar Mike in the past & look forward to helping MHTS in 2024.
9. How do you train? Any special gyms or trainers?
I train to be what had been called a hybrid athlete. A great mix of speed & strength. I do most of my gym work at Burn Boot Camp as it’s a quick but effective 45 min camps that do a great job. On the weekends it’s a mix of soccer refereeing along with OCR-specific training at my home gym.
10. Are you an ambassador or fan of any other brands? Give them a shout out and let the community know why?
Currently I’m still an OG OCR BUDDY ambassador along with Spartan, Buckedup, Mudgear, Honey Stinger & NijafitATL gym/OCR training facility
