Like many others, my journey in sport began with a dream – a dream to make it to the highest levels of sport. Also like many others, I came up woefully short.
As a child I played anything and everything but found my niche playing golf. After a 4-year university golf career I realized I wasn’t going to make it “big” and began to study what made athletes and coaches great.
In my career I have worked at the club and development levels all the way to the highest levels of Professional and Olympic/Paralympic sport. I have had the opportunity to lead the design & implementation of high-performance sport programs and have worked with numerous sports over the course of my career to support program implementation and performance planning.
An accomplished speaker, I have had the privilege to guest lecture, moderate and present for hundreds of individuals looking to enhance their understanding of performance planning.

Every athlete’s journey is different. Mine, like many, started with uncertainty and questions. I was just 18 when I made my first Pan-Am junior team with Canada. One of my worst performances that year. One month later, I was a Canada Summer Games record holder and champion. Sports are unpredictable, and that is what makes them great, but not every question has to go unanswered.
Having experienced multiple NCAA division one programs in three different Power Five conferences, I have gained extensive knowledge about the journey undertaken by countless athletes within the NCAA. From winning a conference championship with Penn State my first year to entering the transfer portal for graduate school, my time as an NCAA athlete has provided me with a multitude of unique experiences.
I have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of the NCAA experience. I wholeheartedly believe in its potential to shape athletes into extraordinary individuals. I am dedicated to utilizing my invaluable firsthand knowledge to guide aspiring athletes on their journey to the next level.
