Cole is someone you'll never see without a smile on his face, and if he's frowning it is typically because you changed his music or didn't leave enough food for him to have seconds. Where ever he goes he brings with him, his uplifting positive attitude and inspires those around him. I first met Cole when he joined our Crossfit gym in the fall of 2012. Since the day we met not only has Cole been a friend, he's been a role model, a mentor, and a brother. I am sure many of us can attest this.

Cole fell in love with the sport of Crossfit and with years of hard work and detication became an amazing and very humble athlete. Becoming both mentally and physically stronger each day. Everytime he came into the gym, or stepped onto the competition floor he gave it 110% leaving everything he had out there walking away with no regrets, and making sure to cheer on everyone else there with him.

As many of you know eailer this week Cole was involved in a work accident resulting in serious injuries which include two crushed vertebrae in his lower back and trauma to his spinal cord. With such severe injuries, Cole needs to concentrate on healing and ALL of our help will go a long way in assisting him during this challenging process.
