I’m a former semi pro 800m track runner turned baby daddy and coach. Running has given me the opportunity to travel the world competing for my Country, University and my sponsor, Saucony. Track and running have been a huge part of my life and I’m fortunate to stay involved. As the head coach of the Blue Devils Athletic Club located in Toronto, I get a daily dose of coaching young kids, high schoolers and adults both on the road and on the track helping them reach their goals and post some fast times. When I’m not coaching I’m teaching elementary kids or reliving my glory days as I still try to get myself around the track as fast as I can. Lastly, I’ve got a brand new baby girl and I’m super excited for the adventures she will bring! |
