A former athlete, Jeff joined Fearless Athletics in 2010 following several years of a “fitness” regime consisting mostly of hot wings and cheap domestic beer. After encountering weight-induced health issues, and failing to achieve results at a traditional gym, he knew significant changes were in order and aggressively sought a CrossFit program that would be both highly challenging and form-focused. At Fearless Athletics, Jeff lost approximately 50 pounds while significantly increasing his strength. Wanting to help other beginners achieve similar levels of success, he began assisting with the On-Ramp program in 2012. Jeff now leads the evening On-Ramp program at CrossFit South Philly and teaches both CrossFit and Intensity classes.

Jeff cites the clean as his favorite skill but when movements like overhead squats show up in WOD’s such as “Nancy” he sometimes has to talk himself out of running to the car and driving home to his wife Katie and toddler son.
