Best part of instructing at Refinery: I enjoy taking classes that other instructors are teaching.  We challenge each other to be the best we can.
What members should know: Focus on form first.  Increase weight only after execution of the moves is done correctly.  Sacrificing form to add weight can be a quick road to injury.  For first time participants, go light on everything and focus on execution.  If you are unsure about anything just ask myself or any of the other instructors.  We are here for you!
In his words: As a USMC veteran, I will never quit on you; even if I forget to change the weight on my bar!  I will encourage you to do the same.  It's ok to cry; it is NOT ok to quit! We start together, we finish together.

What members should know: love music in general, but a wide variety of music.   I base most of my classes off of songs I’ve heard that have either motivated me during a workout or I’ve enjoyed at some point.  I enjoy knowing ways to improve and feedback in general.

In his words: Growing up I played drums so all of my classes go to the beat of the music.  I think that is drilled into me.  I really enjoy dancing so if I weren’t teaching cycling I’d probably teach dance.
