I grew up captivated by strength sports, initially playing American football in grade school. Training became my favorite aspect, leading me to discover my passion for powerlifting at 18. This ignited a desire to compete, and in 2015, I entered my first competition. Over the past 11 years of coaching, I've found immense joy in helping others achieve personal goals and gain confidence on the platform. I've guided athletes to break numerous national, international, and provincial records, with many securing top spots at the National level in various powerlifting organizations. My mission is to maximize the strength of each client and help them reach their full potential. I firmly believe in the transformative power of strength training for both competition and improved quality of life, and I'm honored to be part of that journey.
I discovered my love for weight training through American football in high school and ultimately decided to focus on improving my strength and physique rather than the sport itself. I was introduced to powerlifting by a friend at the gym in mid-2015 and competed at my first powerlifting meet in March 2016. Having then found my passion for becoming the strongest version of myself and for powerlifting as a sport, over the last 8 years I have competed at a further 15 meets ranging from local to international level, earning multiple high placings, and provincial and national records within two different Canadian federations. As a member of my local powerlifting community, I found myself to be equally as passionate about meet day coaching through assisting other powerlifting athletes during competitions. With meet days being my favourite aspect of powerlifting, it brings me great joy to be part of the atmosphere as a meet day coach, where I am fully committed to ensuring that my athletes have a great experience and achieve the best results possible on the platform.
My journey began in 2020 when my soccer career ended due to injuries, leaving me feeling lost and purposeless. It wasn't long before I found solace in the gym and discovered the therapeutic benefits of lifting. This newfound passion filled the void I had been experiencing.
As I immersed myself in the world of strength training, particularly powerlifting, it quickly became an integral part of my life and daily routine. Beyond the physical aspect, I found a deep connection within the powerlifting community, forming lasting bonds with the people I had met in the sport.
In 2022, I transitioned into coaching and immediately found my true calling. Watching my athletes grow and achieve the progress they had been striving for brought me a profound sense of fulfillment. I continue to chase this idea of excellence through constantly learning and growing alongside my athletes, following along their own individual journeys in this beautiful sport of powerlifting.
