About

Mike was a WSU football player during college, and after college he played semi-pro football in San Diego for 3 years. Mike has a BS from Winona State University in School and Community Health and Physical Education as well as a coaching certificate. He has a lifelong background with weightlifting and was a national competitor power lifter in a previous life. He has a black belt in Tae Kwon Doe. He discovered CrossFit in 2010 and fell in love with it. After a 28 year career in the business world, he needed a change and decided to go back to his passion of working with people to enhance their fitness and their lives.

Sue was raised in Winona and met Mike just before her senior year of college. After finishing college and doing a short stint living in the Twin Cities, she came back to Winona to be with the man of her dreams! Sue is a CPA and is the Chief Financial Officer for Merchants Bank. She loves accounting, but with all of that sitting, she has always looked for physical activity to do before or after work. With 25 years of marathoning under her belt, she has completed full marathons, many half marathons and triathlons and has done a dozen of those. As Mike got interested in CrossFit he convinced her to try it during a vacation one year. One WOD and she was hooked!
