F3 Austin SLT

Don’t let the California roots or the Lulu Lemon spandex fool you... Jack "Sketch" Pedersen might be slightly sus, but he’s all in when it comes to F3. Nicknamed by Primer on a warm summer morning (which is how most horror films start), “Sketch” was less a name and more of a warning: Don’t trust this guy’s cadence count… or creative direction. Though, to be fair, we’re still waiting on those promised F3 Austin logos... any day now, Creative Director.

Recruited by Coconut and Spike, Sketch showed up to his first post thinking “I really hope these guys like my spandex” and “Please be Jane Fondas.” While his taste in workouts is questionable, his commitment hasn’t been except when it comes to waking up. The man has publicly declared war on early mornings, which is ironic considering he’s now a regular at Moonbase and one of the loudest motivators in the gloom.

After a few months of "ghosting the bio submission form," Sketch finally got this write-up done but only because the Nantan did it for him (you're welcome, buddy). In the meantime, he was busy turning Weaselbot into a high-achievement alert system, racking up badges like a man who mistook F3 for Boy Scouts.

Sketch brings a designer’s eye, a sharp wit, and a healthy skepticism of any workout that starts before sunrise. But once he’s in the gloom, he’s all in motivating the PAX with positivity and a belief that “addition is always positive.” Just don’t expect him to smile before 6:30 a.m. Or deliver logos on a deadline....some mysteries remain unsolved.

Paul “PID” Hanusa joined F3 Austin in March 2025 after his wife spotted a Facebook post about a free men’s workout just a few blocks from home. Always an early riser and lifelong fitness guy, PID showed up expecting a casual bootcamp and instead found a legit workout, a Circle of Trust that hit deep, and a group of men who instantly felt like brothers. He was hooked before the first round of coffee.

His nickname “PID” comes from his Mechanical Engineering and Control Systems background—Proportional-Integral-Derivative control for the engineers out there—which keeps complex systems steady. It’s a fitting moniker for a guy who brings precision, calm, and balance to everything he does (including his burpees). One of the few and proud Double Respects in F3 Austin, don’t let the age fool you—this man is fit and regularly shows the younger PAX how it’s done.

When the 1st F Q  spot opened up, Whammo casually mentioned that PID would be a great fit. In typical P.O. [Nantan] fashion, it took all of a few hours before P.O. found PID, shook his hand, and said, “I heard you’re our new 1st F Q… welcome to the team.” The rest, as they say, is history.

A Wisconsin native, proud Packers shareholder, and retired Army Engineer Officer, PID spends his time leading in his church, serving veterans, and heading up wildfire preparedness efforts in his community. When he’s not in the gloom or mentoring other men, you’ll find him cruising around Lake Travis in his restored 1969 Mustang with the music turned up tuning both engines and lives to run a little smoother.

Steve "HammerTime" Flores's journey into F3 started in the most unlikely of places: a late-night game of Halo. In the middle of a hard season of isolation and depression, he opened up to another player...Covenant from F3 Katy, TX. That man didn’t just listen. He pulled up the F3 Austin schedule, sent directions to Sasquatch, and told him to post. Days later, Steve showed up in the gloom… and HammerTime was born.

The name? A nod to his work as both a handyman and a licensed Mental Health Therapist. The result? The perfect blend of practical skill and emotional strength. The kind of guy you want in your corner whether your fence is falling down or your life feels like it is.

Since then, HammerTime has become a staple at Sasquatch, Shootout, and co-led Tiger’s Den with 2-Stroke.

When asked about the difference F3 has made, HammerTime points to the PAX  as the men who’ve run back for him, encouraged him, and simply walked with him. And if you want to understand the full impact? Just ask his M. (Spoiler: it may or may not include a comment about the dad bod no longer being a “bod.”)

Looking ahead, HammerTime is focused on continuing to pour into the men of F3 Austin...one conversation, one beatdown, one act of encouragement at a time. Whether it’s checking in on a brother, welcoming an FNG, or simply being present in the gloom, his heart is to make sure no man feels like they’re going through life alone. For him, it’s not about numbers, it’s about impact. And paying forward what he found that first morning, one man at a time.
