No nicknames but I’m sure people call me a lot of things behind my back:)

How did you find CrossFit Eclipse, and what led you to join?

My previous gym closed and I had been driving by CFE for years but mostly because my friends all landed at CFE.

My proudest moment was taking 2nd at the Backyard Brawl by winning a blind ski erg with my partner DT.
