Alec is the co-owner of the Southern California based Affiliate CrossFit Costa Mesa. While he still maintains a full time desk job in the finance industry he finds time to train and coach others. While he's a self proclaimed "super nerd" because he maintains a position in a highly successful World of Warcraft team, he's happy with CrossFit because, in his words "I'm not a 90 pound weakling anymore." Surely that's a good thing for someone so into video games. Alec will be competing in this weekends SoCal Sectional at UCLA.
