2008-2009...

I was going to reflect on 2008 but to tell the truth, I don't even remember where I was on New Year's last year...so...I just want to say that 2008 changed my life. In more ways then one. First, my career actually started on Feb. 13th when I graduated and chose to be stationed in Sicily for the next 2-3 years. Still wondering if it was the right choice, but I guess the grass is always greener. I has enabled me to travel and see things I would have never seen, and gave me the oppertunity to be part of CrossFit history.

I was at the first Level 1 Cert in Europe's history, got to meet Coach, and Nicole and changed my out look on CrossFit, nutrition and ultimately life. As many have said, CrossFit is a way of life, not just a hobby. Because of it, I don't party and drink hardly ever, I am more healthy, and I have been given a tool that someday will help me lead and teach others in the ways of this amazing lifestyle.

My father is a very devout Christian and has always said my name mean, "The Chosen One". I'm sure he always meant it in a Godly way, which may not be my exact calling, but I feel CrossFit and the heathy and conditioning area is my calling. After I am done with my current career in the military (whether it be 5 yrs or 20 yrs) I am going to work at and eventually open a CrossFit Box. As Jeremy Theil said in his blog, "Changing the world is a big task and I am still up to it one step at a time.".
