B,
You are a great coach, team-mate, and friend. Your energy, inspiration, support and ever positive attitude helped to create the Shed and the strong family that it is today.
You will be missed more than you could possibly realize. But don’t think you’re getting rid of us that easy. We’ve got family in Kearnersville, NC, so you’re in for at least a couple of visits a year from the Garry’s. We wish you and Stacy, the best always!
You will ALWAYS be a ShedHead!
Scott and Janice
It was a pleasure to meet and WOD with you. Good luck to you in your endeavors and don’t forget the Shed. You’ll be sorely missed.

B –
Although I haven’t known you that long, you have made me feel welcome in the CF community. The competition in July was awesome and you are definitely an inspiration to me. Good luck with all of your endeavors and always keep that positive attitude!
Sincerely,
Doug DeMarco
Hey Brendan,
Just want to sincerely thank you for your motivation, inspiration, and wisdom, not only during the morning hours, but every time you set foot into the shed. Your athletic abilities motivate me to strive for excellence and your affable personality makes it less disappointing if I sometimes miss the mark. I wish you the best as you move forward in life. May you continue to be inspired by love, knowledge and
happiness.

Dear Brendan-
First and foremost, I wish you the best of luck as you enter into this new chapter of your life. I am very happy for you, and I believe you will do great things!
During your time with us, you have been valued and appreciated tremendously. In the (sometimes) chaotic mess that we lovingly refer to as “RedShed CrossFit”, you were always the rock! I could always count on you! It is really hard to find people like you in this crazy world of ours!
As happy as I am to see you moving forward toward your true passions and goals, I am equally saddened by the thought of void you will leave behind at the shed. Your positive attitude and keen sense of coaching will be difficult to replace.
I am proud to have contributed to your CrossFit journey, and I am humbled by the fact you chose to train with us at the shed, instead of at any other CrossFit Affiliate.
I expect to see you atop of the Mid-Atlantic standings next year! Not just in The Open, but in The Regionals as well!
I am extremely confident that you will take CrossFit Greensboro to a new level, and I am envious that they will have the honor of your presence and positive energy!
Thanks for everything, Brendan… from the bottom of my heart, Thank You!
Pat
Brendan,
Best of luck in your future endeavors in North Carolina. I would like to thank you for your constant enthusiasm and intensity. It has been a real pleasure both watching and wodding beside you. Which ever new “box” you join I know they will quickly realize the effects you bring into the gym every time you are there. Good Luck Brotha!!!

Dear Brendan,
So sorry to see you leave but so thankful to have benefited from your knowledge and talent. I will always remember all your help with those pesky OHS and how much I benefited from your coaching. Keep on passing that talent along to others and best of luck in NC. Love and Happiness to you and Stacy!

Brendan,
Thank you for making 6:30 am fun. The groovy tunes and the good company were a great way to start the day. You have such a great coaching style and your tips made a big difference in my crossfit. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge and love of crossfit with me and everyone at the shed. It won’t be the same without you.
Congrats on this new step in your life. I’m so happy for you and Stacy to be together and for you to pursue physical therapy. good luck with your path. You’ll do great!!
And of course…go show CF Gboro how the Yankees do it! 🙂
Best of luck!
Jess
It’s a GREAT day to be GREAT! It’s a GREAT day to be YOU!
Love your BIGGEST (but shortest) fans,
Ally & Cait
Brendan,
You ROCK! sums it up…You have given back SO MUCH to the RedShed and CrossFit community and that is priceless.
You have embodied what CrossFit is all about – as an athlete, a competitor, Coach and friend.
Your passion, determination, athleticism, leadership, humility, choice of foot wear, rocking play list, INCREDIBLE ability to provide statistical analysis and love of MUD will take you to new heights as you start this next journey in your life.
Most importantly, you have helped me grow tremendously as an athlete. From the early AM training to making sure I was always prepared with your insider’s feedback for the next competition. Answering frantic texts of how many reps do I need/how fast do I have to complete this WOD to stay in the game..you always had the answer. You also always bought in to being open to trying crazy *ss WODs along with me and last minute requests to do yet another WOD that day…
I believe that in order to excel as an athlete and competitor, you need to “train-up”. You provided that competitive atmosphere time and time again so that I had that experience. With still much more to accomplish, I know I am on the right path because of your Coaching.
You are a wonderful person and I wish you nothing but success in the future. No matter what CF Affiliate you decide to call your home, you will always have a place within the Shed walls and in our hearts. I look forward to following you on the road to next year’s Games in your new region.
Strong…Confident…Athletic…
Always a ShedHead…
