Ethan was born and raised in San Antonio, and he also has family in Mexico and Chicago he visits once a year. He spent some time in college, and currently, he is pursuing a degree in Homeland Security and Emergency Management. Growing up, he played basketball, soccer, golf, and, at one point, speed skating.
Ethan has a 3 year old boy who he claims is the best! His son keeps him moving and learning daily. Ethan currently works for the Austin Fire Department, and it’s been through his job as a firefighter that he has learned a ton about mental toughness and physical ability. He has seen people accomplish amazing things when they get out of their comfort zone and push a little harder than they believe they can.
His experience as a firefighter spills over into his coaching beliefs – just a bit of encouragement and reassurance can give someone the extra confidence they need to do something they never thought they could. Winning these small battles leads to greater self confidence and stokes the fire to keep pushing one’s limits! That’s fuel for Ethan and everyone around him.
When Ethan isn’t working or coaching, he’s hanging out with his family in the garden. The setup is different every year, but tomatoes, peppers, asparagus, and herbs are always staples.
