Like other members of his family, he was born with a competitive spirit. He is a three-time CrossFit Games Regional athlete, who also participated in the CrossFit Games in 2016. He’s also competed in the Granite Games as well as Wodapalooza. As a certified coach, Steve’s specialties are perfecting movements and pushing people to a new level of mental and physical strength.

Back in 2010 I had just heard of Crossfit and I happened to see a flier on the bulletin board at a local coffee shop for Crossfit Markham. I figured it must be a sign! I called the number and got Anna, she told me to come out on Saturday. The workout was going to be at the track at a nearby high school.
Saturday comes and as I drive in I see Anna tossing a bunch of weights and kettlebells off the back of her big red pick-up truck. She looks like a professional athlete and all I can think is, “no one has seen me yet, just turn around and back the hell outta here!”
I summon all my courage and get out of the car, walk over to Anna who says “Are you Sommer? Start carrying this stuff up to the track!”
At the end of class she said come to the house on Monday, some time after 6…..and more than a decade later, I haven’t left.
I can’t even imagine my life without it and I appreciate everything that I’ve learned about fitness, goals, hard work and personal accomplishment.
