Drew is a passionate and dedicated coach who loves to help others achieve their fitness goals. He was introduced to CrossFit in 2016 by his now wife, Kayla, who is also very involved in the CrossFit community and a member of CrossFit DOD along with their son Nathan. Drew enjoys coaching because he likes to share his knowledge and experience with others, and to see them grow and improve. When he is not at the gym, Drew likes to have fun with his family playing board/card games, camping with his son or friends or racing on xbox. He also enjoys riding mountain bikes, swimming and running to challenge himself, and use his fitness outside of the gym. Drew believes that CrossFit is not only a physical challenge, but also a mental and emotional one, and he strives to create a supportive and fun environment for his athletes.

When David and his wife April had three boys, all under the age of four, David knew he needed to find something to help him stay physically, mentally, and emotionally healthy. After hearing about Crossfit from some friends, David decided to try it in 2015, and he’s been hooked ever since.
Within the first year, the Crossfit methodology helped to reduce David’s resting heart rate, lowered his cholesterol, and decreased his body fat. Now Crossfit continues to help David be an active parent for his sons as the whole family learns and plays new sports together.
As a result of his experience with Crossfit, David has a strong desire to help others discover the functional fitness approach that translates into many other facets of life.

Sarah has worked with young athletes as well as adults age 75+ in both group and personal settings. After years of helping people attain physical health, she continued to notice a struggle for her clients within the hours outside of the gym. While training only addresses about 3% of their time, she challenged herself to create a program that would help clients master the other 97% as well. This passion led her to investing in more education and experience around nutrition. She is a Certified Nutrition Coaching Specialist and started her own remote Nutrition Coaching business in 2018.

Owner, Head CrossFit Coach
Tristan first started CrossFit in 2016 as a way to help with his decathlon training. At the end of his track and field career, Tristan found the sport of CrossFit to be a perfect outlet to fill his competitive void. His love for the sport developed into a passion for coaching others with this training philosophy. To him, coaching is more than helping others achieve a new Personal Record or lose weight. Coaching serves as an opportunity to boost confidence, break down barriers- mental or physical, and create a sense of belonging/community. Coach Tristan looks forward to helping everyone he works with achieve their own definition of success.
Tristan has 3 years of CrossFit coaching experience and 9 years of overall coaching experience. Prior to CrossFit Doors of Daring, Tristan was the Director of Health and Wellness for Red Ventures in Fort Mill, SC.
