About Drew

I'm from the Lake of the Ozarks, and I moved to Columbia in 2020 for college at Mizzou. I graduated in 2023 and currently work at the University Foremost Dairy Farm. Outside of work and the gym, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I've been doing CrossFit since 2020 and I've been coaching since early 2024.

How I Found CrossFit 

I got interested in crossfit, while trying to lose weight. I was leaving a conventional gym and saw people running down the road. I related this to sports practices at the time, and that was something I was missing as a college student. At the time I didn't know much about CrossFit but as I started to consider trying it I wanted to learn more. I looked it up online and found several local CrossFit gyms. A few weeks later I took my Foundations class and never looked back.

My favorite thing about Crossfit is the culture: everyone comes to the gym to improve their lives. My favorite thing about coaching is that I can use one hour of my day to help other members of this great community.

Motivation & Passion

I do CrossFit to be the best version of myself. It really has changed my life, and I truly believe that I'm becoming the healthiest, strongest and most social version of myself.

One piece of advice I would give to someone contemplating starting CrossFit is to take the leap of faith. It's special because everyone gets a good workout: the first-timer gets the same results as the seasoned member.
