“What would you do if you won the lottery?”
It’s a common question asked around water coolers and meal tables across the country. For Adam Gray, his answer was simple: open up his own CrossFit Gym.
But of course, that would mean leaving a steady and comfortable job as an actuary, a profession he had spent over 3,000 hours of undergraduate, graduate, and licensing study hours. Being an actuary was low-stress, played to his strengths with math, and paid well. So why ever leave? Eventually, Adam recognized what he thought was a reoccurring daydream for what it was: guidance from God.
So, just a few years ago, he left his steady paycheck and, with the support of his family, took the plunge and opened CrossFit Goose Creek in Berry Farms.
Running CrossFit Goose Creek has not only meant going to work at a passion project every day, but it’s also meant doing something that helps others.
In this video interview with Pastor Jeff, Adam shares his entrepreneurial journey, how his father set an example for him to emulate, and how waking up every day and seeing God in everything is as easy as it sounds.
