The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he is always doing both. – James Michener
After high school I enjoyed a short stretch of running Division 1 track and rugby. After a number of injuries I
retired from competitive athletics and wound up finishing school at Missouri State University where I am now a Senior Instructor in the Biomedical Sciences Department teaching courses in human physiology, genetics, and molecular biology.
I discovered CrossFit through a number of friends in 2011 and found it scratched the old itch of competitive sports. In 2013, my wife and I started CrossFit Republic along with our partners. It has been an incredible endeavor. I joined Power and Grace in 2014 with a goal to make our athletes the most efficent movers in the sport and I believe we are well on track to that goal.
