My Story

Greetings!  My journey in the world of sports starts with High Performance Rugby and a degree in Sports & Exercise Science, and leads us to Squamish today where I've now accumulated 15 years of leadership in the Vancouver Fitness Industry and am fully immersed in Mountain Sports. Working with World-Cup level Mountain Bikers, Tour Divide Gravel Riders and Ultra Marathon Runners. Now with a young family, we practice what we preach and spend as much time in the outdoors as we can. Just like most of the Athletes I work with, I juggle the responsibilities of real life with my passion for Athletic Performance and enjoy this great place I get to call home.

 

 

Here's a few bullet points that shape my training ethos. 

​

  1. Long-Term Performance: Taking a performance approach to training enhances both quality of life and life/health spans. Weight management becomes effortless, providing robust protection against illness and injury.

  2. Endless Challenges: There is always another challenge to master, regardless of your athletic level. Continuous improvement is a journey available to everyone.

  3. Constant Progress: Incremental gains in strength, endurance, and flexibility month after month logically extend into later life, requiring just a little dedication and consistency.

  4. Injury Mitigation: Prioritizing injury prevention and rehabilitation is essential to avoid setbacks in your fitness journey. In fact, if it's the only thing you achieve, you're already well on your way to making consistent gains.

  5. Consistency Over Intensity: Progress is a result of consistent weeks and months of training, not isolated intense workouts.

  6. Tailored Strength Training: While everyone benefits from strength training, its form should be personalized based on individual needs and goals as well as adjusted frequently to fit in with life.
