I graduated from Laurentian University in Physical & Health Education. During my time there I work with the Men's Basketball team as a student athletic therapist. Nearing the end of my first season with the team. The coach approached me knowing my past fitness status. Seeing how I had let myself go through school the coach challenged me to strive for greatness by returning for the next season capable of participating in the teams dry-land training. Upon returning the next season I was 25lbs lighter, I left half the team in the dust in the fitness assessments and conditioning. I had proven to myself that I was capable of so much more than I ever knew. I want to prove to others how much more they are also capable of.

For the past 4 years I have worked with many incredible people helping them reach their fitness goals. I have also managed my own team of trainers in a fitness club and realized the importance trust for a team to thrive. I love building the trust and bonds between individuals and creating a support network which pushes everyone to greatness. Also, I have trained a minor hockey team for 3 seasons, the first of which we won the provincial championship. I am always looking for new and challenging ways to change up workouts and transform them into my own fusion of training. My next endeavour is to earn my Strength & Conditioning Coach certification and to work with young athletes striving to become professionals athletes.
 
When I am not making you sweat you will find me at the rink playing hockey and coaching hockey. My wife Christine and I are always looking for unexplored terrain where we can run with our Australian Shepherd Sky, get muddy mountain biking, cruise the open waters of Georgian Bay kayaking and catching dinner while fishing at our cottage. We are currently training to compete in our first adventure race "Logs, Rocks & Steel".
