Since day one, John has been engaging in any and every form of physical activity available to him. He’s a doer, a teacher and an all out hype man. Traditional sports, extreme sports, pole dancing, bouldering… nothing is off limits. His fitness journey officially kicked off when he was 16 with some Muscle & Fitness magazines and the desire to GET JACKED, BRO. Through college he was group fitness instructor which, may or may not have, but definitely did, include teaching step aerobics.

In 2018 after years of self programming and experimenting with different forms of exercise, he decided to teach himself the olympic lifts and fell in love. In 2020 he started lifting under Dylan Wall with Austin Weightlifting and found a home with CrossFit Austin. When coach Dylan called him up to the big leagues to start coaching with Austin Weightlifting, it was a no brainer.

I’m always seeking to discover what my body and mind are capable of and thus love helping others to find (and push) their own limits. I have one speed (TURBO), I can’t say no to a challenge, and I have a revolving door of hobbies. I’ll try anything once, twice if I like it, three times to be sure.
