My name is Jose. I am originally from Bradenton FL (my childhood home is a block away from CrossFit Havoc!) I’m a 10-year Army veteran, CrossFit coach, and former Army Master Fitness Trainer with a passion for helping people become stronger, healthier, and more capable in everyday life. I’ve had the pleasure of coaching athletes for the last 6 years on functional fitness and working with athletes of all levels — from beginners building confidence to tactical athletes and first responders preparing for demanding physical standards and real world challenges. 

I picked up CrossFit When I deployed to Iraq in 2020 (it was during covid quarantine so all the gyms were off limits, but we had a pull up bar, a random 60lb dumbbell, and a big ol’ rock my gunner found).

During this time my Wife Adrial joined a CrossFit gym back home and always expressed how amazing and supportive the community was and how awesome the workouts were! So I decided to join a CrossFit gym as soon as I got home and haven’t looked back!

When I’m not in the gym I’m probably out fishing somewhere, tending to my plants or spending as much quality time with my kids Theo, Josie and Iris!
