​

Experience/Philosophy:
I have been training in a gym since I was fourteen years old. What originally started as a
way to become more athletic, for my main sport of the time: lacrosse, became a passion for
becoming stronger and helping others. I competed as a powerlifter from the ages of 16-18
and took the sub-junior squat and deadlift records in the 93kg class. I dabbled in
strongman towards the end of my short powerlifting career as well. I found myself not
getting what I wanted out of powerlifting and my main sport was still being a lacrosse
goaltender so I decided to try out Olympic Weighlifting to increase power output. Fast
forward 2 years and I have quit lacrosse in pursuit of hopefully stepping on an
international stage during my lifetime. During 2020 I placed 3rd at junior nationals in
Edmonton, 2nd place at senior provincials, 1st at junior provincials. In 2021 I began my
first year as a senior and placed 3rd at senior provincials. I am also in the process of
completing my Bachelor’s of Sport and Fitness Leadership at Camosun. If there is one
thing I have learned through my 6 years of training experience it’s that the simple things
work and are often overlooked by many.
