About Mike Crimmins

Mike Crimmins enjoys craft beer and New Orleans restaurants, which is why he discovered Obstacle Course racing when he was looking to get back into shape in 2013. Since then he's cut back on the craft beer and raced in just about every OCR in the gulf south. He works out out with his active four year old and looks forward to racing with him in the near future. He is also a retired coffee blogger and active digital marketing pro on week days.
