Sean has lived in southern NJ most of his life and has been a coach or member at a number of CrossFit gyms in the area. As Sean was finishing up college in 2012, he discovered CrossFit and shortly after that time tried to turn it into a career. The rest is history and coaching people in CrossFit, nutrition/lifestyle, olympic lifting, and person training has been his job and passion ever since. Outside of the gym, Sean loves to be outdoors with his wife Lauren and their 2 dogs. They can be found at the beach surfing, hiking trails all over the country, or out fishing.

​

1. Describe your athletic background.​

​

I am one of four siblings, so growing up so we played outside and would run pick up games of every sport! After finishing up college tennis, I found myself lost without having a team around me. I started to get into distance running and ran myself right into an overuse injury. While I was resting the injury, I found a CrossFit gym and was hooked!

​

2. How and when did you become familiar with CrossFit?

 

I started CrossFit in 2012 after my older brother had urged me to try it. It wasn’t until a surf trip to Florida where my brother out surfed me that I took his advice!

​

3. What is your most memorable CrossFit moment?

 

My most memorable CrossFit moment is actually a group of moments. Doing the open every year since 2013! The Crossfit open is my favorite time of year where I get to see people get out of their comfort zones and do things they never thought they could!

​

4. What advice would you have for people interested in starting CrossFit?

 

Try it with a friend! CrossFit is not the competition documentaries that you see online, it is a group of people that want to get a good workout, stay healthy, and have fun!

​

5. What inspires you to keep training and become better every day?

​

I used to train every day to be better at CrossFit so I could compete in the local competitions that I loved. The last couple years my focus has shifted to perfecting my form and training for longevity. I still love doing the occasional team competition with friends, but my ultimate goal is to be able to workout, hike, run, and do anything I want outside of the gym!
