Coach Dean
Hi, I’m Dean. I’m a dad, a finance guy, an athlete, and a coach. Fitness has been a part of my life since I could walk. I played one team sport or another and regularly found myself in a traditional gym until college where the fast-paced life of work and school got ahead of me, and I drifted away from fitness for a time. When I recognized the negative changes to my life, mind, and body from years of disuse, I opted for sudden and extreme change as the solution. I went to my local box and threw myself at CrossFit despite knowing absolutely nothing about it. I found a passion for self-improvement and a place where I could push my mental and physical boundaries every day.
I turned to coaching because I want to bring my passion and mentality to others. I believe that people can change into whoever they want to be if they have a supportive environment in which to do so. My goal is to provide knowledge, enthusiasm, and support so consistent effort leads to success.
While my fitness gives me the ability to be active in generally any way I wish, the mental focus and fortitude I cultivate are of greater value in my opinion. I want to be patient, fun, and athletic so I can be a good father. CrossFit, and CFTO give me the tools to be who I want to be. Whoever you are reading this, I hope to see you here soon!
