Personal training and playing an active role
in helping individuals reach their goals began
for me while completing my Bachelors degree in
Human Kinetics at the University of British
Columbia. Since that time, I have held multiple positions in the fitness industry including facility manager, personal trainer, spin instructor, and group fitness leader.
I have gained experience working with a variety of individuals each with different goals and fitness levels.
I have a great deal of experience working with
individuals looking for general fitness
improvement, weight loss, and the weekend
athlete. For the past three years I have
been the head strength and conditioning coach at
one of the largest softball camps in Canada and
have participated in Diamondawgs baseball camps providing on-field conditioning since 2004.
I use my sporting background in all of my
training sessions, Incorporating balance,
coordination, strength, and cardiovascular
conditioning in functional movement patterns.
I believe these aspects of training are
important for all individuals as they provide us
with the strength to perform day to day
activities and live long healthy lives.
I am a Gymstick instructor and Johnny G certified spin instructor as well as a certified strength and conditioning specialist through NSCA.
I have taught beginners to triathlon groups and even NHL hockey players.
I am always expanding my knowledge
and training skills in order to provide the
most effective, challenging, and
personalized training for my clients in pursuit of reaching their goals.

I graduated with my degree in
Human Kinetics from the
University of British Columbia.
While in post-secondary I was an
academic all-Canadian baseball
player
for the Douglas College Royals (NWAACC)
and the UBC Thunderbirds (NAIA).
After finishing my playing
career, I decided to remain in British
Columbia until 2007.
During this time I was a senior
strength coach and manager of
baseball conditioning for Twist
Conditioning Inc (TCI).
Now living in Calgary, I have continuing
to develop programs in my first area of
expertise - baseball strength and
conditioning - and have expanded my
clientele to include athletes of all ages.
I strongly believe that everyone is an
athlete and my functional style of training
reflects this belief. I teach all of
my clients about balance, posture, movement
skills, full body strength, and core
strength. Preparing athletes for a
sporting event or preparing clients for the
"sport of life" involves many of the same
principles. An athletic style of
training is more fun, more engaging, and
will produce exceptional results.
I have had some incredible experiences
working with hundreds of athletes from youth
to professional including players from Major
League Baseball, the Junior National
Baseball Team, the National Hockey League,
the German Elite Hockey League, and Women's
National Soccer Team. I am a certified level 3
baseball coach with the NCCP and
head coach the Calgary Cubs Midget 'AAA'
baseball team (16-18yrs). I take great
pride in the responsibility I have to
provide education to all of my clients and
players along the road to their dreams.
As an educator I have presented at coaching
clinics and strength and
conditioning conferences on
numerous topics in both Canada
and the US. In addition to
Inspiration Training, I am also the
founder of
Diamondawgs, a
baseball and softball education company.
