Brendon has more than just a passion for fitness. Helping others find fun and dynamic ways to challenge themselves is paramount to his coaching style. CrossFit, with its high intensity and constantly changing program, gives him a creative platform to successfully push both his athletes and himself to new heights.
Brendon’s coaching philosophy draws upon his experience as an elite track athlete for the past eight years. After earning All American honors, competing in the 2004 Olympic Trials and winning multiple ACC titles, he joined the Nike Farm Team in Palo Alto, CA to train for the 2008 Olympic Trials. Brendon found CrossFit after numerous injuries sidelined him from competition. Through CrossFit, he has recreated himself not just as a stronger runner but also as a functional and more capable athlete. He is able to perform at elite levels on the track and trail and has time to spend with his family. He is constantly looking for new and better ways to develop both his athletes and himself.
Brendon is a sponsored mountain runner for Inov-8 shoes and is currently competing on the USA Track and Field circuit.
When Brendon is not training his athletes or himself, he is a full-time father to his daughter, Josslyn. Other sports he enjoys include surfing, rock climbing, rugby, and swimming in the bay.
