Josh

Josh began doing CrossFit shortly after his twin daughters were born in the winter of 2015. His wife joined a local CrossFit gym, loved it, and encouraged him to gym a month later. Prior to CrossFit, Josh was an avid cyclist, distance runner, backpacker, and weightlifter (i.e. adherent to the copy of Arnold’s Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding passed down to him in 1995). As a new parent, it was hard to find the hours to train in his wheelhouse of sports and activities, however, CrossFit provided the challenge, new skills development,  and fitness results he was looking for in just the right amount of time he had to dedicate to keeping in shape in a given week.

Josh’s work in international development policy,  and climate and energy diplomacy has taken him all over the world, and as a result he’s done CrossFit in more than a dozen different international cities (this bio is being drafted at the airport in Keflavik, Iceland… where a visit to the famed CrossFit Reykjavik was paid) including Madrid, Ulaanbaatar, Paris, Lisbon, Guatemala City, Dhaka, and Bonn. 

As a coach Josh is looking forward to helping athletes get the most out of their workouts and enjoyment out of tackling the challenges of CFIL workouts.
