Mike Stark
I grew up in Charleston SC. My fitness journey started in junior year of high school when I found myself on the wrestling mats at bishop england highschool and almost immediately fell in love with training. After highschool I enlisted in the United States Marine Corps where I continue to pursue performance and training After returning to Charleston I attended cofc to study English and relocated to Columbia in 2021. Shortly after I discovered CrossFit and hit the ground running. Since then I've dedicated my time to learning and teaching movement as a coach at Vertex and Carolina CrossFit. In my free time you can find me taking class at CCF, hanging with my dogs on the Riverwalk, or trying to make.time for a surf trip!
