I attended Licoln Jr High, Naperville Central High School and have two degrees from Northern Illinois University. Today I am still living in Naperville with my wife and three children. My ties to Naperville run deep as my parents, three brothers, brother and sister-in-laws and many of my friends also live in Naperville. <br> <br>Many years ago I was competitive in gymnastics, wrestling and diving. I spent many years after college trying to find ways to maintain my competitiveness. I joined soccer leagues, did a couple of triathlons. Nothing really stuck. I was looking for ways to maintain my fitness that was not a complete chore. After a while, life got in the way. I got married had kids, worked all day. The last thing I wanted to do was work out. But I kept trying to get back into it. I hit my thirties and the metabolism dropped and I began gaining weight. So back to the gym…Again. I did the typical run on the treadmill or jog and body building style isolation exercises. I was getting stronger and had great cardio, or so I thought. Then I found CrossFit. I didn’t understand the scaling aspect and jumped in head first. I couldn’t even finish my first workout. I began doing as much research as I possibly could into this fitness program. With encouragement from CrossFit Headquarters and others with the CrossFit community, I became certified as a CrossFit Trainer. I opened CrossFit of Naperville in December of 2008. I am over forty and I’m in the best shape of my life. With CrossFit it has been fun, no longer a chore. <br> <br>My goal here is to assist you in meeting your fitness goal. I believe that CrossFit is the quickest way to get truly FIT. I look forward to delivering a fun and exciting atmosphere for you to discover new levels of fitness and achieve goals you never thought possible!</td></table>"))

I grew up in Wheaton, moved there when I was eight years old, and spent the majority of my life there. I attended Wheaton Warrenville South High School Class of 99′. I was a 2 year Varsity Soccer Player, I was a starter as a Junior and Senior. I played Defense, mostly Stopper, a position I moved to only in my Junior and Senior year. I now live in Aurora, and work in Sugar Grove. I have always had ties to the area and always will, with a ton of family living in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs. My parents still live in Wheaton and I have a younger brother who lives in Wheaton also. <br> <br>I have always been active playing many sports as a child, I played soccer from age 5 until a few years ago, due to the fact my men’s team disbanding. I played baseball until about middle school, still play in a men’s softball league every Thursday night. I played basketball only because my parents thought I would be good at it because of my height, yes white men can jump. I grew up with a pond in my backyard, so I am a HUGE HOCKEY FAN…play in a men’s league with a bunch of firefighters in the area, and golf when I can. I still do many sports today and will continue to do so until I can’t walk, or my heart stops beating. I also spent my fair share of time staying in “shape” by traditional standards of lifting weights, on machines, cable machines, free weights or whatever the popular trend was at the time. I also spent time running because that was the hip thing to do to stay in “shape”. Why am I telling you all this, because they were all trends things I did to stay in shape. I never did them out of pure enjoyment. I would spend a few weeks here and a few weeks there working out to better my overall fitness, but I was so one dimensional. I never achieved my goals. If I did they were short lived. <br> <br>Fast forward to 2011 I had been searching for years what I could do to get into shape, feel stronger, faster and just look better let’s be honest we all want to look good with our shirts off!! I know I do. So I was introduced to CrossFit by a co-worker. I remember his words to this day…” Just do one workout with me. If you don’t like it I will never bother you again to workout with me!” So all I can say is about 400 workouts and lots of sweat and grunting later, I am now a Level One Trainer in CrossFit and I am the one pushing people to find their limits. I became a trainer in August of 2012, and have not looked back since. One of the best weekends in a long time spent learning about CrossFit. Everyday I fall more in love with CrossFit and feel it is the one thing that changed my life. I wake up anxious to go to the gym and get a good sweat on with everyone else. I know the challenges ahead will always be changing, and hitting those goals always make the hard work worth the challenge. So I leave you with this comment, “Come to CFNA and try one workout, if you don’t like it I will never bother you again!”</td></table>"))

I stayed pretty active physically up through my late teens and into my late 20s with high school football, wrestling and track. I maintained a respectable level of strength through my studies in college as a Phys Ed/Health Ed major - Then something happened that I had once sworn I would never allow. I let myself go. I got fat. Like many folks, I just let my health go by the wayside eating too much junk, not sleeping enough, stressing out over all the responsibilities of my adult life...One Spring in 2012 I decided to go on an overnight backpacking trip with my father in law out in the mountains of the NW. This was an activity I always used to enjoy with my father in my younger days. It was a disaster. I was spent after only 4 miles and my blood sugar was all outta wack. Good ol~SQ~ father-in-law posted my picture on Facebook. There I was. Gut hanging over my pack belt, leaning against my trekking poles, pale and sweating. This was a call to action. I was through making excuses. A buddy of mine on Facebook was kicking ass in life and turned me on to CrossFit earlier that week. I got on-line, checked out the website, looked up a local box. Signed up for a mud run three months away. Went to the box. Paid 3 months full in cash and went to work. The transformation was liberating. I was inspired by all those around me. I~SQ~ve seen a lot of fitness fads come and go all through the past couple decades, but THIS CrossFit kind of training, community and lifestyle is the REAL DEAL! This is what physical education and health curriculums should be in all our schools. Over 3 years in now I am now training others, sharing and learning and taking in the wonder that is witnessing people take back control of their own vitality through hard work, self discipline and the encouraging support found in our box. I look forward to working with you.</td></table>"))

A mother of three weighing 185lbs and barely able to run around the block, my first month of CrossFit was eye opening! <br>I pushed through, drank the ~SQ~Kool Aid~SQ~ and started a journey that changed my life. The change was not brought about by focusing on the hour at the box, rather, on what I did in the 23 hours I was not working out. My coach suggested I base my diet on ~SQ~garden vegetables, especially greens, lean meats, nuts and seeds, little starch, and no sugar~SQ~ and it was on! <br>I quickly shed the excess fat and learned how much you can achieve when you put your mind to it. I started coaching in 2013 as a way to give back live to see the joy in others as they transform themselves. I love how CrossFit switches things up presenting many opportunities for growth - I look forward to using what I have learned to help you grow as well!</td></table>"))

As I got older I started playing soccer. In college I moved to Nashville, and was forced to adopt more indoor work-out programs. I started treadmill running and weightlifting, not following any specific training method, other than to work off all the pizza I was eating. <br>In my twenties I did a Tough-Mudder and a Spartan race. I had heard of CrossFit before, but it wasn’t until I started doing these intense, multi-skill workouts that I started seriously considering the benefits. Not long after that, I went into a box in Murray Kentucky (where I lived at the time), and was immediately hooked. <br>The intensity of the workouts was amazing and the varied movements kept it interesting. I enjoyed getting to learn all of the different types of movements and how to perform them. Going in, I thought I was in pretty good shape, but about ten minutes in I was acutely aware of the many gaps in my training, as I panted my way through the elements class. I honestly didn’t think seven minutes of any workout would have left me in a puddle on the floor, but I was clearly mistaken. <br>Even though I had done sports and other activities most of my life, no one had ever actually shown me how to do these things. I took a weightlifting class in high school, which allowed me the ability to use the equipment, but didn’t show me the mechanics of the movements, and why those movements were relevant, etc. Going to CrossFit essentially allowed me to fill in those gaps in my physical and nutritional understandings. <br>Eventually, I was doing the workouts 6 days a week, following a paleo/zone inspired diet, and generally trying to improve my understanding of what physical education actually is, and how it can be used in everyday life. I still enjoy doing obstacle course races, hiking, kayaking, and any other activity that I can talk my wife into. After years of training, I finally went to get my CrossFit Level 1 Certification, so that I can help others make their own improvements, and develop the physical and educational foundation to do so.</td></table>"))

But my main sport when growing up was Martial Arts. Since the age of 10, I practiced, taught and competed in the Filipino Martial Arts. <br> <br>I had followed CrossFit since 2009, but never had the nerve to try it. Until 2014, after a life changing event, I decided to give CrossFit a go. After going through the elements class and actually doing my first CrossFit workout, I got addicted. What I love about CrossFit is the comradery. I have made so many friends through CrossFit, here at my home Box or when I travel and visit other Boxes and even when I compete in CrossFit competitions. I like the simple premise of increasing work capacity by moving heavy load over a certain distance in a short period of time. <br> <br>So it~SQ~s now 2017, this Crossfit journey has me coaching. Seeing our athletes achieve their goals and/or PRs is the icing. Can~SQ~t wait to witness more achievements reached by the CFNA athletes. </td></table>"))
