I’ve been an athlete all my life. I played field hockey and lacrosse for 6 years while in school. I competed in Track and Field for 10 years and went to University for it. I have never quite had the chance to only focus on Powerlifting, so most of my PR’s have been set even when training for other things. I am a runner as well… I like to run distance and sprints, sprints to work explosiveness and distance to calm my nerves and ease my mind I have been lucky enough to get involved in the sport at a young age due to my father also being my coach. Fortunately I have been able to grow and mature in the sport and still have such a long way to go, everyday in the gym I learn something new!
