From a very young age, it became apparent that Coach Dave loved all things sport and competition related. Maybe it was being the youngest of four or maybe it was being the only boy in the family. Whatever it was, it has created a fire inside of him that fuels his urge to constantly be striving for excellence through consistent and steady improvement.His unwavering persistence and eternal optimism are his two greatest assets as a husband, father, coach, entrepreneur and athlete. They are the pillars he has stood on for as long as he can remember and are the reasons he is such a fantastic leader.He grew up playing competitive soccer, loves snowboarding and enjoys traveling the world. Dave was thrown into the world of CrossFit in 2008, he has competed in the largest competitions in the CrossFit world and in 2017 he was the 18th Fittest Man in Northern California in The CrossFit Games Open, finishing 34th at the California Regional as an Individual Athlete.Dave lives in San Jose, CA with his wife, his daughter, and their French Bulldog. When he is not coaching or training, you can usually find him reading a book, listening to a podcast, doing some online continuing education or having a chat with someone he thinks he can learn from. As a very curious, driven and dedicated individual, he like to say that he is a serial learner and has an unquenchable thirst for knowledge.Over the years, Dave has experimented with a lot of different types of eating, but never really felt like he was in control or consistently making the correct food choices that would result in long term success until he found WAG and “flexible dieting”. Dave and his wife have both had significant success with improved body composition and performance since incorporating this healthier and more sustainable type of eating into their lives and it has inspired Dave to want to share with others and inspire them to improve their health through flexible dieting as well.Certifications:* CrossFit Certified Trainer (CCFT) (CrossFit Level 3)* CrossFit Level 2* CrossFit Level 1* Certified Working Against Gravity Nutrition Coach* CrossFit Aerobic Capacity* USA Weightlifting Sports Performance Coach* CrossFit Anatomy Course Certificate* CrossFit Scaling Course Certificate* CrossFit Spot The Flaw Course Certificate* CrossFit Lesson Planning Course Certificate* CrossFit Dumbbell Course CertificateContact David: David@crogafitness.comFollow David on Twitter: @DahVeeeFollow David on Instagram: @DahVeee
