Bio: Tory was born and raised in San Francisco in an active family and enjoyed playing
sports from an early age. During her college days, she discovered and started
training in martial arts, including Tae Kwon Do and Hapkido. It was through martial
arts that she discovered her initial love of teaching and coaching others.

After college and the tragic events on 9/11, Tory felt it was time to give back. She
found her calling as a first responder and has been in the career field for sixteen
years. As part of her job, she teaches Defensive Tactics and Physical Fitness to both
police recruits and peace officers.

Tory wandered into the “Parking Lot of Dreams” in 2010 and completed her
Crossfit Basics classes with Diane Fu. She was sold on SFCF after Kelly and the staff
helped her recover from what could have been a career ending work injury. At SFCF,
she found the same sense of community and camaraderie she loved from her martial
arts days.

Helping people become more confident as athletes and overcome preconceived
limitations is one of Tory’s biggest rewards. She brings a high level of energy and
enthusiasm to her coaching and enjoys working with new athletes.

What Tory loves most about SFCF: The wonderful community! It puts a smile on my face to walk through the door.
