I started weight training at the age of 17 in order to put some muscle on my 6 foot tall, 150 lb frame. By the time I was in university I weighed over 240 lbs and decided to compete in powerlifting. After a few contests, I took a shot at strongman training and competition. My trainer partner, Conor Kelly, and I entered our first strongman contest in PEI in 1998 and were addicted ever since!

I now hold a degree in Kinesiology from the University of Western Ontario, as well as several training qualifications. I’m a qualified fitness professional with over 20 years of involvement in the health and fitness industry including employment, academic, competitive, and volunteer experience. I’ve also worked with the National Ballet of Canada, Shooting Stars Soccer, Ontario Powerlifting Federation, and the Sports Medicine Specialists.

I started Team Barbarian Strength Athletics to help athletes like you to improve their strength, power and performance. That’s exactly what the Barbarian Strength System will do.
