DONE

I AM DONE SQUATTING. 365 days are complete. Boy I need a rest. Thank you for all the support. We donated thousands of dollars to the American Melanoma foundation in Amanda's name. I saw people all around the country with her tee shirt on. On to a new challenge. I hope more people can draw inspiration from her.

The Future for CrossFit

In the past months my life has changed dramatically. I have moved to the east coast and left my life in California for a new job here in Boston. I feel like the job is more than just a job. As many of you may know Reebok, the aerobic/pump shoe and clothing company is doing a huge deal with CrossFit. This is a great partnership for the two companies and it will elevate crossfit to a new level around the world as well as pump it into the limelight, and hopefully revamp reebok's image from flashdance back to a serious fitness brand. With all this potential for growth and expansion, really explosion, Reebok needed someone from within Crossfit to run their own box at Reebok HQ. As well as ingrain Crossfit into the lives and hearts of their employees. I feel honored to get the opportunity but with this job I feel a big weight on my shoulders. Its is so important that the people who will lead our community into the future really understand what our culture is about. They need to live and breath Crossfit to understand the special aspects that make the community so unique and special, an attitude and standard that needs to be held.

Moving to Boston

My time out here in California has been amazing. I have had so many awesome experiences, made some amazing friends in this community, and worked with some of the best coaches in their respective fields. My road trip with CrossFit up the coast, hanging out with Castro, Coach B, Bmack, Tony Blauer, and coach Glassman, getting to CrossFit with Khalipa, Everett, Kris Clever, Rebecca Voight, and David Millar right in my backyard, and having some of the most beautiful scenery I have ever been around was a dream come true. But now, I must move on. I am taking a job in Boston running what could be one of the coolest most badass boxes in the world. As things finalize I will provide everyone with more details. But for the time being, I want to say goodbye and thank you to all of the awesome people I have had the privilege of sharing my experiences with. You all are in my heart and will continue to be a part of me as I head back home to the Northeast. Believe me its for the best, California is turning me into a hippy. Somedays I feel like the Big Lebowski out here. Plus Im tired of those drunken txts from Rob asking where I am. Hold on fellas cuz I'm coming home...and in the dead of winter. You can take the boy out the Northeast, but you can't take the Northeast out the boy!!!
