I'm a physical therapist specializing in Veteran care in both NJ and PA. When I am not working, I love spending time with my wife, Kelly, and our two Bernese Mountain Dogs. You can find me cooking, exploring the Philly food scene, local breweries, and working on my ever growing honey-do list. My favorite thing to coach is any HERO WOD – knowing the reason why and the community it brings together. A fun fact: I'm a born and raised New Yorker who recently found himself saying "Go Birds". You ever walk into a gym and feel out of place, or make you isolated/unwelcoming? From my first day to this morning, it's the group of people that make this place special. I'm a 5AM'er with some of the most amazing: teachers, nurses, therapists, IT, marketing/advertising, insurance salesmen, and most importantly, parents who put their health first and prioritize their day. Some days it's about showing up for you, but more often than not, it's about showing up for those around you. TF is special in that even on your worst day, you will leave a class feeling your best.
I've been working as a physical therapist for almost 9 years, and in that short time, I've seen the importance of regular physical activity and exercise. There is a lot of overlap between physical therapy and coaching CrossFit, both of which have helped guide my practice and coaching style.
