After a 13 year career in Architecture had me overweight, sick and stressed, I made a change, got super fit and then built a 15,000 square foot gym in 2002; Best Body Fitness. Next, I wrote a book about health and fitness called “If Your Body Were a Car, You Wouldn’t Treat it This Way”, as well as a fitness journal and a few recipe books.

Once in a place of being healthy, I decided to try the Sylvan Lake Half Ironman Triathlon to see if I could finish it. I finished well and qualified for Ironman Canada and within a few years I was representing Canada at the World Championships in Holland and Australia as well as racing all over Canada and the USA. In 2011 I entered a triathlon 2.5 times longer than Ironman, and at the Canadian Ultraman Championships, finished 6th overall, (20 minutes from 2nd) in a 3 day race spanning 520kms. 2 years later at the Ultraman World Championships in Kona Hawaii I placed 21st in 2013.

I have ridden a bike 400 kms in one day for Cancer research, ridden a mountain bike 700kms to Montana along the great continental divide, and completed every Spartan Distance including an Ultra Beast. In 2015 while I was racing again at the Ultraman World Championships, I crashed my bike at nearly 70 kilometers per hour, breaking many bones including my skull, and I nearly died. Making a remarkable full recovery I raced again 3 years later in 2018, placing 25th in the world while filming the process for an award-winning documentary; Living the Warrior’s Code”. I now coach people online and in person as well as delivering key note talks that are engaging, inspiring and fun!.
