I’ve been playing the game of hockey competitively for over 20 years and this has lead me to a love and understanding of game of hockey on a very high level.

With being a former College player and CJHL Alum it given me opportunities to learn and play along some of the best in the game.

My passion for details and work ethic has lead me to work with various hockey players in the NHL, AHL, DEL, NCAA, and CHL on the ice and in the gym.

Hired in 2015 by JDM Sports as Sports Consultant in Canada and later by Roy Sports Group in 2019, this has allowed me to help athletes take their game to the next level. I have helped various athletes in Hockey, Basketball and Football with obtaining scholarships, professional contracts, player placement and team relations creating a full spectrum of services.

On-Ice Coach

Sports have significantly influenced my life, instilling discipline, fostering friendships, and emphasizing the value of hard work.

Basketball has always held a special place for me, starting from my childhood days shooting hoops outside my home to competing in men’s recreational leagues today. I cherish sharing this love for the game with my little sister, supporting her growth as a player. While basketball is important, hockey has been my primary passion.

I have played league hockey for many years and most recently graduating from the junior level of hockey. The rink has become my second home, where I have focused on physical and mental resilience and developed my skills as a teammate and individual. Coaching is my way of giving back to the sport that has shaped me.

I strive to help young players enhance their skills and build their confidence and love for the game. Being a positive influence and helping the next generation of athletes grow both on and off the ice is a priority for me.

On-Ice Coach

My hockey journey began in Clarington, Ontario, where I played my minor hockey and developed a deep passion for the game. During those early years, I also began training with Full Blade Hockey in the summer months—both on and off the ice. Their development programs played a key role in sharpening my skills and building the strength and conditioning needed for the next level.

As I advanced in my career, I joined Okanagan Hockey Ontario Academy for my midget years. The academy’s high-performance environment pushed me beyond my limits and prepared me mentally and physically for junior hockey.

I began my junior career in the GOJHL, playing for the Niagara Falls Canucks and the Thorold Blackhawks. These years were instrumental in my growth as a player. I later went on to play in the NOJHL with the Blind River Beavers, where I capped off my junior career. That season led to a scholarship opportunity to play NCAA Division III hockey at Rivier University in New Hampshire.

While I was grateful for the opportunity, I chose to take a different path and pursue a career in the electrical trade. At the same time, I knew I wanted to stay connected to the sport that had given me so much. I’m now an on-ice and off-ice coach, helping young athletes develop their skills and reach their potential.

Today, I give back to the game by sharing my experience, work ethic, and love for hockey—whether it’s on the ice, in the gym, or as a mentor to the next generation of players.
