Steve is a lifelong athlete and established coach possessing certifications in many different movement disciplines. Currently, he is pursuing a graduate degree in Biomechanics at the University of Northern Colorado, where he studies the impact of anthropometrics on optimal squat patterns. Growing up on Long Island, Steve was always active in athletics. During high school, he was involved in varsity sports, including Cross Country, Track, and Wrestling, achieving either All-Conference or All-County recognition in all three. It wasn’t until college, however, that he found his true athletic calling in Rugby, where he achieved regional and national success. Steve continued his Rugby career after college with the Long Island RFC and was elected captain in his first year. During this time, Steve also began coaching the Hofstra University Women’s RFC, leading them to a conference championship, resulting in a divisional promotion. Steve began his CrossFit journey in 2013 after a knee injury forced him to retire from playing. Since then, he has devoted much of his time to studying various forms of strength and conditioning and is currently the head strength coach at CrossFit South Denver.
