Grew up in Sherwood Park, Alberta playing many sports during my school years. Baseball, School Track, Soccer, Volleyball, were among the regulars but Hockey was the main one until the end of high school when I switched gears to sprinting full time for the University of Alberta. Multiple provincial medals both club and high school, lead to many National Championship appearances including the 2004 Olympic Trials, 7 Canada West Medals and 2 CIS National Medals were proof that I had succored in achieving some of my dream goals as an athlete. Now switching gears to coaching I am helping others achieve their goals and dreams.

I teach junior high phys ed in Sherwood park during the day and coach at the school, with the club, with the university varsity program, and when called upon the provincial team and the national team during my “free” time. I have been fortunate enough to be a Provincial Team Head Coach with the Youth and Midget teams, a provincial staff coach for the 2007 Western Canada Games and 2013 Canada Games, Head Coach for Team Alberta at the 2015 Western Canada Summer games, and the sprints & hurdles coach at the 2011 IAAF World Youth Championships for the National Team.

Everyone has the right to chase their dreams and coaches like us help those people along the way. Always are we proud of the accomplishments of those we have the honor of working with. Sometimes, if your lucky, it turns into lifelong friendships, but you can always see the difference a coach can make in someone’s life and with that responsibility as a coach, I will never forget the positive influence I can have on someone I get to work with. So what are you waiting for? Let’s go chase some dreams!
