Brad has been with BSCF since 2011! During Tax Season time he usually disappears. As a CFP (Certified Financial Planner) and EA (Enrolled Agent) Tax Season has him working 10-12 hours a day for 6 days a week. However! This year he made it a priority to not give up his fitness and made Monday, Wednesday, Friday at 5:30am (even with a infant at home) for the duration of tax season- something to be noticed and applauded!
Tell us about yourself? I like to work out early so I have plenty of time to hang out with family and friends after work. My wife and I (Rachel) recently had a son, Jackson (our first). It’s amazing how much things change for the better after having kids. I look forward to introducing Jackson to Crossfit when he’s old enough.
What do you do for a job? I’m a financial advisor and income tax consultant (enrolled agent)
Tell us something people might not know about you? I’m originally from the south east, Texas and Mississippi – I’ve lived in CA for almost 13 years now
What brought you to CrossFit in the first place? I tried doing Crossfit on my own at first in 2010 following the main Crossfit website’s daily WODs, but I struggled to stay consistent. Once I found Nathan and Beachside (3/2011) I was hooked. I liked the community and working out in a class environment with good buddies. I’ve met lifelong friends doing Crossfit at Beachside
What was your first impression? How has that changed? My first impression was that it was really really hard, and that impression hasn’t changed, which is one of the main reasons I’ve stuck with it for so many years. I like the challenge and having something to constantly strive for.
What was your first “bright spot”? There are a lot, and I don’t know about the first, but getting my first bar muscle up during the open a couple of years ago was a pretty awesome one for me
What are you working on now? I would really like to crack the 225 mark on my snatch, but I have a long way to go!
What’s your favorite Beachside Crossfit memory? We’ve made a lot of great memories at Beachside, but the ugly Sweater Christmas party at the Koch’s has to be one of the best
