Bio

Note from Patrick:   Growing up, I was always outside playing some type of sport. Baseball in summer, hockey and football in fall/winter and basketball in between all of it. As an adult I spent thirty years in the Air Force and stayed active doing life. As I got older in the Air Force, I wanted to stay fit to keep up with the next generation. I found CrossFit in 2012 when my wife introduced me. My first workout looked “easy”, but I found out quickly that simple is not easy. Manion was my first CrossFit WOD and the first time I scaled mid-workout. I was hooked. Coaching/mentoring was part of my military experience and coaching CrossFit seemed like a natural fit. We moved to Ohio in 2017 as our last duty station, and I found Bomber’s the first week I was here. There is a special magic in CrossFit, no matter what mood I’m in, at the 3-2-1 countdown to start the workout, I always get excited, and feel the urge for a quick bathroom break!
