Training Background
I began weight training when I was 13 years old. I began with the typical bodybuilding routine, but soon discovered powerlifting. After years of squats, deadlifts and bench presses, I began to want more out of my training. I then decided to learn the Olympic lifts, this got the wheels turning for me and I tried some strongman training soon after. I found myself struggling to find a balance in my interests in strength athletics. In 2006 a friend introduced me to CrossFit. WOW! I had finally found a program that I could combine all of my goals and interests into. The diversity of the CrossFit program has given me incredible results, both as a trainer and an athlete.
Coaching Background
I Have been a certified trainer since 2003. Training one on one with clients and also teaching gym classes to children. In 2005 I began coaching the strength and conditioning programs for the men’s and women’s golf teams at Cameron University. Soon after I began coaching the volleyball and basketball teams strength programs as well. In early 2008 I received my CrossFit level 1 certification and began teaching the CrossFit method soon thereafter.

Background
I am a level one certified CrossFit trainer and pursuing my degree in health and sports management, it’s been a long journey but the end is near. I spent my years of high school and college running and doing traditional boring lifts, and training my body in sections rather than as a whole. I found CrossFit in 2006 but I only dabbled in it. It wasn’t until I started to train at Havoc that my idea and definition of fitness was redefined and I became obsessed with achieving elite fitness. I started to push myself to limits I never fathomed to be attainable. Due to the encouragement of Jim Denofa, I got certified in august of 2009 and immediately started training people at my local CrossFit gym. Being part of the Crossfit community in town has become one of the greatest joys, as well as being my greatest achievement to date. As a trainer I find it greatly rewarding to witness peers strive for optimum fitness, and develop into greater athletes. The skills and camaraderie that individuals develop in the gym overlap in many aspects of their lives, driving them to reach great heights, and I am proud to be a part if it.

Coach,
I was doing a pretty painful “fran” the other and I’ll be darned if I wasn’t doing some pretty good thrusters. Later that week I completed a respectful (650) “Crossfit total”. Your squat coaching really did the trick with me and my flexibility continues to improve! Still working the overhead squat issue but making progress. At least one other guy in the group is using your Dynamic Movements. Our little prison gym here in Iraq continues to improve a little at a time, I think we got a line on a tire and I have a duffle ready for “labor”. This is gonna suck!
Thanks for everything!
My best to you and your family and especially Victor aka Mini Coach!

Lucky 13 will be gloom and doom today!
I was hoping you can help me out. My unit is switching to the Crossfit program. I have a number of question to ask you can you send me an email? Thank You so much!
Glad I found Crossfit Havoc! This is just what my body and mind needs. Two sessions under my belt, and I can’t wait to do it again! Thank you Jim for bringing your passion, talent and service to Lawton.
I love you guys….
