Dave Bullamore
Co-Owner & Coach
Dave is a former Marine, triathlete (IRONMAN WI 2010) and marathon runner who found CrossFit a few years after being diagnosed in 2012 with osteoarthritis in both hips. After coming to grips that running and triathlons were no longer possible, he found and fell in love with CrossFit joining Dragonfly CrossFit in Holly Springs, which is now the present day CrossFit HSP.
After spending years working to improve his strength, work capacity and skills, Dave now enjoys being a competitive Masters CrossFit/Functional Fitness athlete. In 2021, he qualified to represent Team USA at the IF3 Masters Worlds Championship in Cairo, placed 74th worldwide in the CrossFit Open (M55-59), and 55th in the Age Group Online Qualifier. Rather than go to Cairo, Dave opted to deal with his worsening hip problem having both hips replaced over the span of 4 weeks in Nov-Dec 2021. He plans a full recovery and to earn a spot to the CrossFit Games in 2023.
Dave also enjoys volunteering in various capacities in support of CrossFit/Functional Fitness. He has served as a judge at local and national events and in 2021 worked on the Special Assignments/Delta team at the CrossFit Games.
