MEET THE COACHES

In 2022 I was dealing with some shoulder pain and after a few doctor visits, I was informed that my body was getting ‘older and weaker.’  At that time, my wife Courtney, had already been attending Gulf Shores CrossFit, so I decided to join her and to get into better shape. 

That decision wasn’t only the best decision for my shoulder health, but for my entire body’s wellness! I went on to become a trained CrossFit coach, and I am passionate about motivating others to pursue their goals and dreams, as I have chosen to chase mine.

I am a full time content creator with a large social media following in the genre of saltwater fishing and also now a fishing retail store branded around my social media channels. 

For me, CrossFit training has been so much more than just physical wellness, it has been a catapult to helping me achieve success in health, relationships, and business! 

I was born and raised in Buffalo NY, Go Bills! I’ve been doing CrossFit for almost a decade and during that time, it has been life changing.

I’ve owned Gulf Shores CrossFit for 4 incredible years.

My wife Laura and I have one princess, Hemi, and a new baby boy named Jack!

I hold my L-2 Certification and also the CrossFit Nutrition Certification.

Look forward to meeting everyone!

Brooke was born and raised in a small town in Minnesota. She has been an active, and competitive person from a very young age. From her competitive years as a college Softball player to her years as a National Level Rugby player.

 Brooke joined her first CrossFit gym in 2012 where she quickly fell in love with the community, the challenge, and the confidence that the CrossFit gym gave to her. She went on to receive her CF-L1 and started coaching. Since then, she has trained thousands of athletes from all walks of life. She also during that time personally trained and programmed for many individuals looking to better themselves.

Within her first year of CrossFit, Brooke began competing professionally in the sport, she qualified for her first CrossFit Regional in 2014, and each year thereafter.  Brooke got her “big shot” in 2019 when she qualified for her first CrossFit Games as and individual athlete. She went on to qualify 3 more years, including the 2024 CrossFit Games with Team Density.  She has also competed in many other high level comps along the way such as; The Rouge Invitational, Wodapalooza, Granite Games, Filthy 150, The French Throwdown, and many more!

Firefighter, Coach, Husband, Father!

I’m a Foley firefighter and I got into CrossFit because my mobility was about as good as a 2x4. Clearly, I needed a lot of improvement. I couldn’t even do a parallel air squat.

Fast forward 5 years at Gulf Shores CrossFit.

I’ve found a passion for competing and coaching. I enjoy helping others achieve the goals they’ve set for themselves.

As an avid CrossFitter since 2016, I went through the official coaches training to become a CrossFit Coach in 2019.

CrossFit has been a major part of my life for a long time and I love seeing people begin their journey and begin to accelerate in not just their fitness, but other areas of their life.

I work as a Mobile Firefighter and am grateful for the community and team I have at Gulf Shores CrossFit.

I am so thankful to be a part of its strong, supportive community. I was introduced to CrossFit in 2010 and obtained my CrossFit level one trainer certificate followed by my CrossFit level two trainer certificate in 2019.

I recently obtained the CrossFit Kids trainer certificate and have had the pleasure of starting a kids’ program here at Gulf Shores CrossFit.

I work as a licensed physical therapist and specialize in Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy and sports rehabilitation/injury prevention.
