Tell us a little bit about yourself (where are you from, job, family, etc.).

Hey. My name is Al. I grew up in North Jersey and I am the youngest of four. My brother and sister live out west, but the majority of my family still lives in NY. We have a dog named Romeo. He’s only 8, but he walks very slowly. I played baseball and basketball growing up, but was constantly shamed for playing too many video games and excessively watching movies. If you enjoy quoting early 2000 romantic comedies, we’d likely be very good friends. I’m currently in my 4th year of medical school, hoping to graduate in May and looking forward to having a real-life adult job.

When you’re not at CrossFit Stealth, what do you like to do for fun?

Staying active is important to me so playing basketball or running. I live with three of my best friends so we watch a lot of movies and eat a lot of ramen (shout out Ramen Nagomi). Other than that, I like to eat at new restaurants, cook Italian food, spend time with family, and travel.

How did you hear about CrossFit? Why did you want to try it?

I remember hearing about it during college. After I graduated, one of my good friends joined. He really enjoyed his gym and got a lot stronger/faster. From then on I always wanted to try CF.

What were your thoughts after your first workout at CrossFit Stealth?

I joined during the Crossfit Open and I remember having trouble moving the following morning.

Something you might not know about me is?

I had high cholesterol at the age of 12… due to eating too many mozzarella sticks.
