Thomas Carlyle
I love being an owner and head coach here at CrossFit Donelson. I’m passionate about the positive impact CrossFit has had on my life, so I founded CFD to share that impact with as many people as possible.
I’ve been coaching for over a decade, and I believe that both functional movement and personal relationships are equally important to our health. I’m driven by the purpose of engaging with people and helping them achieve their goals, both inside and outside the gym.
CrossFit isn’t just about becoming fitter or looking better, it’s also about your outlook on life. If you approach the difficult things in life with the resolve to never give up, you cannot fail.
I enjoy spending my spare time with my beautiful wife, Audrey, and our four exuberant children.
