I found CrossFit in 2007 after playing youth sports. I did my first CrossFit competition in 2009, and in August 2010. I opened CrossFit Vernon and began coaching and competing in CrossFit full-time. In 2011, I qualified for and competed at my first CrossFit Games and continued to compete in CrossFit until 2018. After CrossFit, I got involved in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu achieving the rank of purple belt.
My commitments are now focused on my family and the members of CrossFit Vernon. I have 3 kids (1 son and 2 stepdaughters) as part of a blend with my girlfriend Kat.
I wasn't a particularly gifted athlete playing hockey and struggled to compete at a competitive level. Later on, I found lacrosse, where I excelled, and karate. When I found CrossFit, my abilities in both of these sports grew dramatically. I credit CrossFit for teaching me the value of hard work and for seeing the positive impact it can have on sports.
I am motivated to help people be the best version of themselves. Everybody has a reason for wanting to change and I can appreciate that. I know we are all capable of more and I have learned first-hand how to be the best version of myself. I am passionate about helping others unlock their own potential.
