David is a Level 1 CrossFit trainer and mechanical engineer.  In 2006 when he became bored with traditional weighting routines, he began to perform circuits using traditional movements like pushups, pullups, and squats. This achieved more intensity during workouts and decreased his time spent in the gym.  Shortly after meeting in 2007, Jeff and David discovered a common interest in fitness, and based on his interest in high-intensity circuits, Jeff suggested David look into CrossFit.  David began experimenting with CrossFit in early 2007.  He went 100% CrossFit in the summer of 2007 with no regrets.  David is attracted to the measurable and functional aspects of CrossFit.  When he’s not CrossFitting, David enjoys wakeboarding, snowboarding, and other outdoor activities.
