Over the past six months I've had the special privilege to directly learn from and be mentored by Seattle's very own Coach Joe Bauer (AKA AllAroundJoe)! Honestly, I couldn't be more thankful for this unique chapter in my life and being able to learn from him. What some people may not know is that I moved to Seattle at the beginning of this year to finish what was left of my graduate degree in a leadership program at Seattle University's School of Theology & Ministry. However, the details of my move were planned almost entirely around being able to work with and learn from this incredible human! I'm a better CrossFit athlete, better CrossFit coach, and all around better "Joe" because of this dude. Seriously! :)
Today's his birthday, so I had to give him a shoutout. I also had to share some pics we worked on together a few months ago right here! If you're looking for some health advice, new fitness knowledge, or meal prep ideas, check out his podcast here!
