Coach Corey Leaves for Texas

(Corey just  had  his tattoo finished by Eric Marts @ Seattle Tattoo Emporium)
Today is the day that we say goodbye to Coach Corey as he leaves back to his home state of Texas for the Dallas/Forth Worth  International Airport Fire Department.  Coach left Texas 6 years ago after graduating from Texas Tech Univeristy and now after working the corporate world with WAMU who is now CHASE then starting up StoneWay CrossFit and Mercer Island CrossFit he heads back home.  The great part about Coach's story is that he has always wanted to be a fire fighter and after being consistent about being persistant about his passion he is now going to be what he's always wanted to be. 

Good luck Coach, You'll be deeply missed!

Corey, I remembered that you invited us on your blog "to come play". It made me reframe what I was doing, and changed it from a "have to do" thing to something that I'm excited to "get to do". Thanks for all your encouragement and support. Good luck in your new adventure!
