Lifting weights and training started out as a hobby in high school that quickly became an obsession. I discovered CrossFit and olympic weightlifting shortly after high school. This led me to pursue a kinesiology degree at the University of Alberta where I had the opportunity to work in a high performance setting with varsity athletes as a student trainer. I completed a practicum in my final year at a sports physiotherapy clinic where I gained valuable knowledge in injury prevention and rehabilitation. After graduation I had the opportunity to work in various settings for the better half of a decade including commercial gyms, physiotherapy clinics, CrossFit gyms, adapted sports and high performance sports.

Coaching at Black Tusk allows me to combine my knowledge and experiences to help you reach your goals (and have a lot of fun along the way)!

In my free time I enjoy backpacking through foreign countries and searching for good coffee and pastries.
