Logan has always loved competing and being active. In high school he wasn’t that good of an athlete until his senior year when something clicked and then he was actually pretty good in track and field! He basically graduated then left for Air Force basic. After that was done he went on to train to become a firefighter he as then stationed at Beale Air Force base in California and what they don’t tell you about that base if you have never been to California is that the entire state is not sunshine and beaches which he soon found out.
California is where he was introduced to Crossfit and it brutalized him needless to say he loved it. after almost 3 years in he went out with my buddies from the Fire department to celebrate his 21st birthday. No one knows exactly what happened but long story short is that some how he ended up on the train tracks where he was hit by a train. He ended up losing both feet but he is not one to feel sorry for himself he knows that this could have probably been prevented but everyone has their path for better or worse. After the 2nd day of surgeries he was given a bar to help me pull myself up out of bed which he ended up using for pull ups and doing ab workouts in my bed. within 2 weeks, he was released in a wheelchair. He was back in the gym the same day getting back to the grind knowing that if he just sat around he would probably mope and never get better. After 3 months of working out in my wheelchair he competed in the Crossfit Open WheelWOD version and placed 6th which made me realize he had what it takes to compete with some of the best adaptive athlete!
