FAVORITE 12 LABOURS MEMORY

Competing at the CrossFit Games in 2016 and 2017 for the 12 Labours Lions. Specifically, standing on the podium in 2016 which was a goal I had set for myself when I started. 

My other favorite memory was the 2015 Resolution Games; that was the day I realized the power and depth of the community here.

OCCUPATION

Co-Owner of 12 Labours. 

Owner J Arcona Fitness which is a remote programming service working with athletes from coast to coast. 

WHY DO I COACH?

I coach to help people realize their full potential as human beings. This starts with having a healthy body and mind to pursue all of their other endeavors. I also believe the mental fortitude and confidence gained by setting goals and accomplishing them within our walls permeates into many other aspects of your life. As a coach I love watching people accomplish things they never thought they were capable of inside and outside of the gym. 


INTERESTING FACT

Oldest of 9 kids, my youngest brother is 15 years younger than me. 


FAVORITE QUOTE

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” -Theodore Roosevelt
