Sebastian was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in 2011 at 20 years old. His early experience with his doctors did not sit well with him. He has prescribed medication but offered no guidance on how to lead a healthier lifestyle to manage his condition. Sebastian took it upon himself to learn about how his lifestyle – exercise and nutrition – could help him limit his medication and control his Diabetes. In large part he was successful and to this day keeps his condition well-controlled through lifestyle and in turn has prevented any complications often associated with Diabetes. Sebastian became passionate about health and made it his mission to teach others how to take their health into their own hands through their lifestyle. Soon after, he found CrossFit and fell in love with the training methodology and supportive community. Sebastian founded CrossFit Manta Ray, now Evolve Fitness Clearwater, in 2013 and hasn’t looked back. Sebastian is CrossFit Level 2 Trainer and has also earned CrossFit Gymnastics and CrossFit Kids Certifications.
