Becca (aka Ring Girl)

About me:

.. .. .. .. .. A transplant from the Mid-West to Los Angeles -- I'm a down to earth girl. While I am a definite type-A personality, I also like to be frivolous and spontaneous when it comes to the things I enjoy.

I used to work as a music editor, most of my time was on the television show 'Scrubs.' My job was a lot of fun, for the most part, and allowed me to take the summer off when TV production goes on hiatus.

My work schedule allowed me to take on projects as a freelance video editor, videographer, and producer. I shot most of and edited all of Bas Rutten's Big DVD's of Combat, edited and co-produced the Team Quest Strength & Conditioning DVD, and shot footage and worked as an editor on a documentary project that followed Rulon Gardner through his preparation to fight Yoshida.

A few years ago I "retired" from show business to work full-time as the Program Director at CrossFit Los Angeles. I am a certified CrossFit instructor and Olympic Lifting Coach. I teach out of CrossFit LA in Santa Monica, CA. I love helping people reach their fitness goals and feel better about themselves. My goal in life is for everyone to discover the superhero inside them!

For a couple years, I also wrote a monthly column for the CrossFit Journal on Martial Arts.www.crossfit.com/journal/

Martial Arts have long been a hobby of mine -- I have trained in Shintaido, Wushu, Tai Chi, San Da, Muay Thai, and Brazilian Jiujitsu, specifically no-gi. But whether it be training Muay Thai and Jiu-Jitsu, regular trips to Vegas for live shows, or watching events on TV. If you can't understand what's cool about watching people beat each other's ass, or getting your own ass kicked in training, then you won't understand me either.

My latest passions are nutrition, fencing and indoor rowing and my aim is to learn as much about topics relevant to my CrossFit students, so I can share the information with them in class. My biggest project right now is the CrossFit Kids LA program -- forging the future of fitness!

Aside from that, I've got two cats and I like to shoot things.
