What brought you to Omaha? I'm originally from Amarillo, Texas. I went to college at Ft. Hays State University and met my wife, who is from Omaha, NE, which brought me here.

Why CrossFit? I've been coaching fitness for over 10 years and opened Nerve in 2016. Every day, I get to do exactly what I was created to do: love God and love people. CrossFit brings together a diverse group of people, from 8-5 workers and competitive athletes to grandmothers and those looking to lose 100 lbs. All these people inspire me to be a better person.

Why coach? One of my benchmarks for success is seeing people's lives change beyond fitness, and I can say with 100% certainty that we are achieving that at Nerve.

Fun fact:

I am terrified of anything flying around my head. A fly, wasp, butterfly, doesn't matter.
