About Keith

Well, who's the 'craic'?

Irish born and raised, Keith grew up in the countryside surrounded by farms, often late for school when cattle blocked the road on their way to the milking parlor. He moved to Vancouver five years ago and works at BC Children's Hospital as an Occupational Therapist, doing early rehabilitation for post-trauma and injuries, with a lot of orthopedics work fabricating splints and casts to promote function.

He started CrossFit in 2015 when he moved to Vancouver and took to it like a duck to water. After about a year he started coaching and completed his CF Level 1. Since then he's coached part-time and has loved working with the community, helping athletes excel at functional fitness and reach their goals.

He loves challenging his body with swimming, cycling and running too. He wants to keep racing triathlons and eventually complete a full Ironman, and loves going on 70-90k road biking adventures on the weekend.

His big dream? To become a professional surfer... though to date he's only been on a surfboard three times, so if he ever stops coaching at Raincity it'll be because he moved to Tofino. After that, a professional skier... or maybe a bobsled team.
