I grew up in a rural farming community, east of Peterborough and this has strengthened my roots in the community. Both my parents grew up and prospered in our community and it is my hopes to do the same. I attended both high school and college locally, seeking a post-secondary degree in Justice Studies, from Royal Roads University on the West coast.
Currently, I am a Peterborough resident and an active local athlete in Muay Thai and Kickboxing. I spend my spare time teaching youth martial arts and I compete in various competitions on a regular basis. I am fully committed to giving back to my community by teaching young adults discipline and self-defence.
