Current Role Working With The Athletic Population

My current caseload deals with athletes from general population to elite level and from youth to masters aged.  I believe an athlete is any individual who has active-related goals, no matter the age, skills, or abilities. I specialize in the management of weightlifters and Crossfitters, helping these athletes perform better and stay healthy longer. At my workplace- The Athlete Centre, we believe every body deserves elite level care. We help bridge the gap between therapy, fitness, and performance and have a gym facility that allows for individuals of all abilities and ages to get back to their meaningful activities/sports without the constraints of your common rehabilitation facility.

Professional Philosophy

I am passionate about empowering individuals through movement, education, and communication, using evidence-based rehabilitation to help individuals overcome obstacles that are holding them back from reaching their goals. A skeptic of the status quo. A genuine believer in scientific principles, critical thinking, effective communication, movement optimism, and a strong coach-athlete relationship. My passion is to help athletes like yourself optimize their health, wellness, & performance to reach their potential not only in training, but in life itself.

Athletic Background

I grew up playing baseball, hockey, golf, and volleyball. I started performance/strength training in high school, and then transitioned into Crossfit for my undergrad. I have been a Crossfit Athlete for ~5 years and a Weightlifting Athlete for ~2 years.
