In 2012 Danielle was introduced to CrossFit by a friend. Instead of attending the local gym she drove over thirty minutes away to attend a gym in Crown Point. Little did she know her new coach was going to be her future husband making the long drive worth it. Christopher and Danielle finished their college degrees together and went on to become owners of Top Fuel CrossFit Valparaiso years after. During that time the couple has moved from an apartment to their very first home where they have raised a bulldog and cat from infancy. The two spends most of their days together coaching, running their business, and playing fetch with Brutus their bulldog. They have grown immensely over the years and their relationship continues to grow as a couple and best friends.
