Talon's life has been dedicated to service since he enlisted at 19. A veteran of Operation Enduring Freedom, he carried that same mission into civilian life when he founded CrossFit L3 in 2015 — now FTX Hybrid Athletics. The goal has never changed: helping people live happy, fulfilling lives.

He takes it one step further — elite-level coaching and programming — and the gym's results speak for themselves. He never stops learning, growing, and advancing his knowledge to deliver the best experience in the building.

Talon lives in Aledo with his wife of 14 years, Jaime, his daughter Sienna, and 3 dogs. You’ll see his family — including mom and dad — training at the gym!
