When did you start doing CrossFit?
In 2015 or so, My daughter Brista Mayfield (2018 games athlete and fittest mom in the world) started programming for me. I had NEVER worked out. I lived in Idaho, and she lived in TX. I did it mostly on my own for the years until I moved to texas in 2018. I taught myself a lot of bad habits, but I love to learn and nothing compares to having the best gym community!
When did you start coaching at Dubford?
I am not sure, since 2020 maybe?
What is your favorite CrossFit movement?
I don’t know how to do it, but I love muscle ups! I also like overhead squats (not real good at them) and BURPEES!!!
Where are you from?
I was born and raised until 16 in Washington state…. (And yes, my uncle Dick Seamands lived on the corner of Woodcock and Kitchen-Dick road, if you have seen the picture of the roadsign on the internet) Lived in Sequim until I was 16, then moved to the desert side of the state and lived in the Moses Lake/Soap Lake area until 30. Moved to southwestern Idaho and lived there until 2016. I then moved to Oklahoma to be with a “farmers only dot com” hook up… that lasted 2 years, got the hell out of Dodge and moved to Texas in 2018…. Where I have wanted to live since I was 18 years old! Took me almost 40 years, but I got here! I now live in Mineral Wells.
What do you do for a living?
I teach preK-1st grade behaviorally challenged kids…. Most have a lot of Trauma in their short lives and at this age they need lots of love and structure. Love is easy for me to give them…..
