I have a deep passion for sports, with a particular focus on football, martial arts, and basketball, which I’ve pursued competitively. My journey evolved from playing to coaching, allowing me to share my knowledge of fitness and training with others. Currently, I am furthering my education in the Sciences at the University of Ottawa. You can often find me weight training five days a week when I’m not training for amateur boxing competitions.

Throughout the years, I’ve helped numerous clients, family members, and friends achieve their fitness goals. Whether you’re looking for strength and hypertrophy training, sport-specific development, athletic performance enhancement, nutritional guidance, or fat loss strategies, I am here to help you on your journey.

My coaching emphasizes sustainable habits, quality movement, and long‑term results.

Combat sports are my thing! That’s where it all began. I was a late bloomer to sports and only began around 17 years old. Younger me was extremely uncoordinated and I always felt like a klutz. However, when I turned 14, I decided to change and began my journey of weight lifting. As time went by, I wanted to share my new passion for exercise with others. My confidence grew, and it helped me improve at the various sports I began to participate in. I eventually shifted my focus to improving speed, coordination, and athletic development. No matter what state you start at, you can achieve your goals! I have learned, hands on, how to train in a var conditiiety of conditions, and learnt much from the multitude of strength and conditioning coaches as well kickboxing trainers. I am looking forward to training you with diverse methods and helping you achieve your goals whether that be getting into better shape, wanting to be healthier or even getting ready for your sport.

Now pursuing a BSc in Human Kinetics, I’m committed to using my knowledge and experience to help others reach their fitness goals. Having struggled with being overweight and rebuilding my strength, I understand how hard it can be to start. Through discipline and training, I developed a deep understanding of muscle development, strength training, and athletic performance. I relate to people at every stage of their fitness journey and believe that with structure, consistency, and the right guidance, anyone can succeed. As a trainer, my mission is to share what I’ve learned, provide real support, and help people realize their goals are absolutely achievable.

My involvement in sport and fitness began early in life. Hockey, skiing, martial arts, rowing, and running are just some of the sports I have competed in growing up. Although seeming diverse, they’re all simply composed of the same fundamental movements, just applied differently. Through study of Anatomy, Physiology and Biomechanics as well as over 10 years of personal training with Anytime Fitness, I now see movement as the key to helping others reach their potential. Strength, stability and mobility are the cornerstones to a better, healthier you! This focus guides my functional bodybuilding style of coaching. All of this has led me to be a firm believer in an active lifestyle with balance, diversity and freedom of food and exercise! We start with habits. Whether you are training for that next race, rehabbing an injury or two, or just want to live better, let me help you find that balance and happiness by improving your overall fitness and health.
