#163: Andrew Wallor- Cooking, Coaching, CrossFit

On Episode 163 I sit down with Andrew Wallor. Andrew grew up playing hockey in the Chicago suburbs.

After high school, Andrew found himself at Culinary school in downtown Chicago. After finishing Culinary school he moved to Jacksonville, FL. where he worked as a chef at one of the top restaurants in northern Florida.

After a couple of years, he decided to head back to Chicago, go back to school, and study finance.

Andrew found CrossFit in 2012 after growing sick of and finding no motivation at the local Globo Gym. He got his L1 Certification and coached at CrossFit Barrington from 2013-2019. He also coached at CrossFit Lykos, CrossFit Logan Square, and worked with the Hoffmann Estates Wolfpack Hockey Club where trained all of their travel teams using the CrossFit methodology.

On top of receiving his CrossFit L1 certification, Andrew also has his CrossFit L2 certification, CrossFit Kids, CrossFit Gymnastics, CrossFit Strongman, SMR, and his C2 Rower Instructor certification.

Andrew is supposed to be married to previous Up Before You guest Lauren Rankins if not for COVID. The two of them are anxiously awaiting the brith of their first daughter in February!
