Athletics has always been a big part of my life. From the time I was a child, sports, fitness and phys-ed were by far my favorite school activities and that early I knew I wanted to pursue fitness as a career in some capacity. After high school I got a degree in Physical Education and Kinesiology from Brock University and went to the University of Alberta to pursue a Masters in Sports Psychology and Coaching.
