A bit more about me

I grew up playing a variety of sports such as hockey, soccer, ski racing, BMX racing, and mountain biking. I have always been extremely competitive, and ever since I was introduced to racing, it has been my passion. The details have always mattered to me, no matter how small. I used to study the pros for hours every evening. I quickly set my sights on competing on the Alpine Skiing World Cup circuit. I won many races throughout my early teens and was on a promising path but then I was diagnosed with a brain tumor. This caused me to struggle with gaining weight and muscle, which was vital for being competitive in the sport. I struggled for several years, falling further behind my peers, and ultimately decided that if I was going to compete at a World Cup level, it would be on my bike instead. After a couple of years of strong junior results, I signed with a professional team. Unfortunately, injuries have completely derailed my racing over the past four years, the most significant being a high-speed collision with another rider at the pump track in 2022. I have missed more races than I have attended, but I have continued to progress and achieve better results each year during the times I was healthy enough to compete. This brings me to why I am launching this coaching business. I have had to be very focused on my process, technique, and bike setup to stay competitive despite having much less bike time than my competitors. I have always enjoyed coaching and seeing others improve. Witnessing that “light bulb” moment when someone truly understands is incredibly rewarding, and I hope to experience many more of those moments through this venture.
