Autobiography: Originally a competitive hockey and baseball player in the West Hamilton area, I became interested in exercise and resistance training in my mid teenage years.  My first step in pursuing a career in strength conditioning was beginning my undergraduate degree in Kinesiology at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.  Early on in my university career I developed a sincere passion for exercise physiology.  During my time at West Hamilton’s McMaster campus I continued to study physiology under the tutelage of two of Canada’s finest researchers in the field, Martin Gibala and Stuart Phillips.  In my fourth and final year of my Bachelor’s degree in Hamilton,  I completed a thesis project on the effects of post-exercise nutrition on subsequent exercise performance.

It was at McMaster that I began working as a personal trainer in Hamilton.  In January of 2006 I attained my Personal Trainer Specialist certification from Canfit Pro and shortly after,  started to work with clients at the universitiy’s fitness center – the Pulse.  During my time at the university fitness center, I was involved in several side projects including conducting strength and conditioning sessions for elite adolescent athletes as well as coordinating the strength and conditioning activities for McMaster Sport Fitness School in 2007.  In January of 2007 I became a member of the new McMaster Maurader’s Strength and Conditioning Coaching Team.  As a strength and conditioning coach at McMaster I worked with the Men’s Varsity Soccer Team.  Spending 2 years with the team, I worked closely with the players, elevating their fitness to a level that enabled them to improve their previous season’s record by 100%.  In September of 2008 I acquired the title of Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist through the National Strength and Conditioning Association of North America.

At the present time I run a successful boot camp group fitness program in the West Hamilton Area and am working one on one with several clients to improve their fitness and quality of life!
