MY STORY
Dedication, commitment, passion and purpose are four words that have described my journey as a coach and athlete.
From an early age, sport and fitness have always been my passion. I started playing organized hockey at a young age, learning the basics in house league, growing through the Kitchener Minor Hockey system, then progressing to the junior hockey level (GOJHL), followed by continuing to play hockey and get my education at Ontario Tech University. After graduating, I decided to pursue my childhood dream of playing professionally in Alabama, Utah and Ohio.
This journey has taken countless hours of training and a relentless underdog mindset - and could not have been achieved without great coaches and mentors along the way. They are the ones who have inspired me to give back and help encourage and inspire young athletes in the community.
