@jakemarconi
Home town?
My hometown is Windsor Locks, Connecticut. It's asmall 3
square mile right at the
very top of CT.
Currently living in?
I am currently living in Providence, Rhode Island.
Where would you live if you could live anywhere in the world?
This is a
tough one. I would love
to move around for awhile traveling to differentspots both in the states and around the
world. Vanlife?? Somewhere
that has always really appealed to me is the Pacific Northwest. I have some family out there
that live at the base
of a mountainwhere we can ski and mountain bike out the front door (literally). A house like
that with a little
garage gym would be thedream.
Do you have a nickname?
I do but it isn'tvery interesting. Aroundthe gym
my nickname is JMF
which stands for Jake Marconi Fitness which is a blog I used to have when I first moved to
Providence as a freshmen
in college. I never kept up with it but maybe I will bring it back one day.
You can only have one type of food the rest of your life... what is it?
Burgers
or Pho.
Bucket list travel destination or itinerary?
Africa for sure. After
that, all of Southeast
Asia. Closely followed by the rest of the world.
Scary movies, yes or no?
YES. Will for sure scream and cover my eyes.
Top burger recommendation?
CHOMP. Providence, Rhode Island.
Go-to music type or band?
I listen to everything, really. My go to
training music is anything
RAP but at the moment it's Two Brothers Big Bootie Mixes. When I cook, Mumford and Sons or
Alabama Shakes.
Do you remember your first CrossFit workout? What was it?
Yes, it was
Angie.
If you could spend an hour with anyone in history who would it be?
It
would be my grandfather, Ray. I knew him but was to young to really remember his stories. He
was a prisoner of war in World War II and escaped!
Favorite non-CrossFit sport/activity?
If you ask my friends they would
say I have too many
hobbies and I'd agree so it's hard to pin one down. Outside of CrossFit I really love
photography.
One thing no one knows about you?
That's tough. I am a sucker for
ROMCOMS and 80s movies.
