My goodness... Henry's story is AMAZING!!!  I've known Henry well for about 2.5 years now and didn't know about the majority of what we talked about.  Towards the beginning of the interview, we actually figure out why his father decided to name him "Henry".

Growing up as the youngest of 7 (a traditional size for an Irish family he claims), Henry excelled early in his career.  Many of you know that Henry currently works for Microsoft, but what you may not know is that lengthy path he traveled to get there!  We dive into the complete history of his working career including careers in catering, real estate, and fabrication.  (I know what you're thinking, "how the heck did he end up in one of the biggest tech companies in the world?!"  You're going to enjoy his story big time!)

Him and his family (Kyra, Robyn, Charlie, and Giorgia) moved to Natick from Ireland in December of 2015 because of Henry's work.  They saw it as a great opportunity to start a new life where they already had some close friends established around the Boston area.

Henry was introduced to CrossFit from his neighbor (and current Firewall member), Dave Howell (whose interview you can find here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dave-howell-episode-12-path-to-his-wife-3-children/id1448103429?i=1000433248208).  Be sure to stick around to the end of the interview as you'll discover why Henry despises burpees more than anything else in the world.  It's actually a much more rational reason than I thought.

Thank you so much, Henry, for taking the time to sit down and let us in on the history of your life!  You've had a fascinating past, present, and I'm sure your future will be just as interesting and fun!  We appreciate the spirit and energy you bring to class everyday.  We're so happy you moved to the States ;)
