My first workout was "Murph". I did it in my garage in August of 2005 in Virginia Beach, VA. I had recently finished 7 years as a Navy SEAL and considered myself to be in excellent shape. However, that very first workout kicked my butt like nothing else ever had and I was instantly hooked. From that day forward fitness became my passion. I read everything I could on the subject, watched every video, opened an affiliate in VA, and even began helping CrossFit HQ run seminars on the east coast.

A lot has changed since the day I found CrossFit in 2005, but my passion for it has only grown. Whether you consider yourself an athlete or a couch potato the staff here at CrossFit Linchpin is ready to help you achieve your goals. Below is a list of past and present credentials.
