Biography
I have been involved in the sport for 30 years. I got into the sport when I met a few lifters that trained locally and they thought I might be okay at it.  I am proud to represent Canada each time out. I am a 3 time IPF World Champion as Master 2. I have won 18 National Championships in Powerlifting and 5 in Bench Press.

Some of my biggest accomplishments are still those of people I have coached and all the Special Olympians I have worked with over the years. Winning Worlds in 22 in front of my daughter will not be matched.

I train at Club Universal in Mt. Pearl, NL. I generally coach myself but talk to other coaches regularly. I was born in a small town of less than 125 people called Perry's Cove. I work as an Employer Advisor and help employers navigate legislation. Any free time I have I spend with my daughter and we both enjoy Disney.

What is your favourite lifting memory?
Winning the 2022 World Championship, at home, as the meet director and my daughter placing the overall gold around my neck.

What is one piece of advice you have for up and coming athletes getting into strength training or strength sport?
Get your self a coach and/or good training partners and stay safe. Be consistent with training and minimize long layoffs.

What is your favourite lift or event?
At different points in my lifting they have changed but right now I think it has come full circle and I am back to Deadlifts.

What is your favourite product and why?
Flexible Large Wrist Wraps
I found they have a different feel. Some training partners tried them on and were like "WOW" and several got their own.

What 3 other items are your go to and why?
10mm Belt
Powerlifting Knee Sleeves
Lifting Straps
The belt gives me some variety with other lifts that I don't have as much of with the 13mm belt. I needed new sleeves so it was great timing when these were released. And the straps are great because I have recently increased secondary lifts that require them.

What colourway is your favourite and why?
Phantom
I was anticipating a new line and I really liked the black/black.

Why do you believe SBD is the gear all athletes should use?
I believe SBD is the gear that should be used because it looks great, feels great and they are always looking for new ideas and researching athlete needs.

Why do you believe in working with SBD Canada as a Sponsored Athlete?
I feel it's the best product line and I also think it's a "go to" for athletes I coach and being able to have a great suggestion for them to avail of.
