Joel Quirple
Coach
I have been coming to PAC for the past 3 years (on King street) and plus a year on Hanover. I have been assisting the main Coaches of PAC going on 2 years throughout the week.
I am currently serving as part of my units Full Time Staff as a Readiness NCO. I have multiple Military Occupational Specialties (Infantry, Cavalry Scout, Chemical NCO). I also hold multiple Skill Identifiers as well. I will be coming up on 21 years total in the PA Army National Guard and have been Active for 16 of them.
My most enjoyable lift is the Deadlift. And my most frowned upon lift is the Snatch.
When I'm not in the gym or working I am spending time with my girlfriend and our children and our 3 fur children. I have come to find out that without the over consumption of alcohol I am a pretty good cook in the kitchen and on the grill. I just hit my 3 years sober in February 2022 and couldn't be happier with how my life has turned around. I have missed so much in the past but now I am able to make up for it by being in the moment instead of wrapped up in the addiction.
