Alex grew up in Inver Grove Heights, MN. She stayed busy throughout her youth being a three sport athlete in high school, which in turn led to the opportunity to play softball collegiately. Looking to gain a competitive edge through higher intensity strength and conditioning, Alex decided to step outside of her college softball team's strength program and into the local crossfit gym.
One humbling wallball workout was all it took for her to permanently make Crossfit a part of her daily routine. Crossfit's functional, constantly varied, high intensity movement philosophy provided the physical and mental stimulation to not only make this a pursuable passion for Alex, but also fostered the desire to share this passion with others through coaching.
Outside of the gym, Alex works full time at an electrical contractor in the estimating and design department. She enjoys faithfully (& many times painfully) supporting her MN sports teams, traveling, hiking and getting out on the water whenever possible.
