Growing up, he competed in as many sports as he could fit in. To name a few; skiing, rugby, hockey, football, cross-country running, golf, tennis, karate, baseball, and more.  These and others have all added to his appreciation of a healthy and active lifestyle. In University he wrestled with the Western University varsity team, until tearing his ACL and having to undergo knee surgery. After rehabilitation, he bought his first mountain bike, participated in his first triathlon and was instantly hooked with the sport.
