Emily Gross | Bouncin' Around the U.S. | Episode 54


Listen Later

Em bounced around the country early on in life!  By the time she was 16, she had lived in Albany, Rochester, Colorado, and lastly Framingham.  Her dad had a job that relocated their family frequently.  Em describes early on in the episode the biggest differences between each of the locations she lived!

Although she did end up moving to Framingham at possibly the worse time of her life (between sophomore and junior year of high school), it didn't take her long to become a true Framingham Flyer!

After high school, Em found herself at UConn for a year and a half.  We share a couple UConn moments including some basketball championship memories!

She wasn't totally feeling UConn after awhile and decided to transfer to UMass Amherst.  Even though Emily works in the business world now, she actually graduated with a psychology degree!  She attributes pieces of that education to her current work in dealing with people.

After graduation, Emily bounced around a decent amount but knew what she wanted to do!  Eventually, her boyfriend (husband now) took a job in Indiana where they ended up moving together and starting a family.

Once their family got started, they decided it was time to move back home and say goodbye to Indiana.  

Towards the end of the interview, Em runs through her favorite and least favorite locations she's traveled to for work.  She's been all over the country!!!

We also get into how she first started CrossFit, and it actually wasn't at Firewall.  She started CrossFitting well before we even opened shortly after having her third kid.  We're so fortunate that she eventually migrated to Firewall :)

Thank you oh so much for coming on the show Em!  We greatly appreciated you taking the time out of your day to sit down with us and give us a brief run through of your life.  Keep rockin' it Em!
