The Push-Up Man & Woman of 2013!
If you missed the CFA Holiday/5th Anniversary Party, you might not have heard about our 2013 Push-Up Man and Push-Up Woman of the Year!
The Push-up Man and Woman of the Year exemplify everything that we love about our athletes, our community, and the human spirit. Not only do these people walk through the doors of CFA day in and day out, and work hard to improve themselves; they go out of their way to lift up everyone around them. They make their friends and families a priority over themselves. They lead and encourage by words, actions, and example. They represent the burning spirit of what makes our little South Austin gym unique and special. We at CrossFit Austin can humbly bestow no greater honor and we give our utmost heartfelt thanks that you both have chosen to make our gym, business, family, and lives a better place!

Words to live by?
It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and leave no doubt ~ Mark Twain
As far as fitness is concerned, Miguel Garza once told me to “make sure you get to enjoy the process, fitness is a life long journey” That really changed my entire outlook on training.
What is your fitness background? I was an active overweight kid growing up that played any and everything I could. In High School I primarily played Football, shortly after I realized I wasn’t big enough, strong enough, or athletic enough, but I was awkwardly fearless… so I started playing rugby instead, I played for a few years and then NOTHING.
My first day at CFA I had to stop once or twice on the 400m warm up lap because I got a stitch in my side.
How long have you been CrossFitting?
I joined CrossFit Austin in May of 2011
What’s your favorite part of CrossFit Austin?
Honestly my favorite part of CFA is the members! Not just my friends, but every single person that walks through those bay doors! I love that there is such diversity within the community yet we ALL come in each day, bust our asses side by side, and get it done. It’s a beautiful thing.
What are your training goals? Favorite sport or activity? Recent adventure you’re planning?
No adventures planned in the immediate future, so I will probably spend most of my time in the gym with all of my SouthSide Athletics peeps getting strong and planning our world dominance.
Tell us something we don’t know about you…
I’ve been a competitive Archer since I was 14 years old and have had some success at the State and National level with that. I also have a thing for cat t-shirts!Longhorns or Aggies?
Both, I love rivalries and competitiveness! How do you plan to use your new-found fame and honor as Push-Up Man of the Year? Leave the fine folks of CrossFit Austin with some parting words… |
