Charlie grew up competing in wrestling throughout high school and college. After graduation the desire to compete did not diminish and he continued with Brazilian Jujitsu and earned his Muay Thai shorts through Fairtex. In 2007 his friend Brian Garmon introduced Crossfit as the fitness program for clients at their work and asked him to assist. Since that time things have not been the same. Charlie has extensive experience working with de-conditioned and special needs populations which has aided him in developing into an attentive and patient coach who thoroughly enjoys helping those under his watch meet their personal goals. Safety, functionality, and then intensity are mottos that he preaches in his 101 classes.
