Patricia Malagrino Parrish

There are three passions that define Patricia’s lifestyle: athletics, the water, and helping others achieve their goals. 

 From an early age, she has loved everything aquatic including competitive swimming, and as a member of the Sarasota Skiarees, a waterskiing team.  Through her younger years, she stayed active and affixed to the ocean adding diving and surfing to her endless list of activities.  This love of the ocean steered Patricia to Massachusetts Maritime College where she began her training to become a professional mariner.  At the conclusion of her time at Mass Maritime she had achieved a Bachelors's degree in Maritime Transportation and the United States Coast Guard Unlimited Tonnage License.  From Massachusetts, she set her eyes on the Gulf of Mexico to work as a ship’s officer in the Offshore Oil and Gas industry.  Eventually, she raised her license three times to the rank of Unlimited Master and is currently working on 750 ft Drillship.

 The rigorous work schedule and demanding environment offshore would derail most, but not Patricia, she thrives here.  She brings her passion for fitness everywhere she goes.  Maintaining a strict diet on the ship takes creativity and determination, both of which she embraces.

 In 2017 Patricia became an IFBB pro and in 2018 she began incorporating CrossFit into her workout. She fell in love with CrossFit and the competitive atmosphere it brought and continues to include CrossFit style working in her training regime.

 Patricia met Brent Parrish in 2019 and they were married in December of 2021. The two, Adline, and their 3 pups all indulge in an active, family lifestyle where they can be found in town, at the beaches, and within the fitness community at large.
