Currently:

I am currently working full time at Fairmont High School as the Sports Co-ordinator. I studied Sports Science at UWC and I thoroughly enjoy Sports related research and developing systems, process to assist players and coaches. Outside of Hockey and sport I am quite the music enthusiast. I produce my own music and based on my availability I DJ as well.

Stick:

ELITE X-2 TEXTREME and ELITE X-4

Role Model:

Michael Jordan. I choose Michael Jordan because his will to win and level competition sets him apart. He does not accept mediocrity and he does with things with purpose. His focus is unparalleled and he has the achievements to back this up. He is also willing to put the hard work in and fight through the toughest circumstances to achieve what he and the team set out to achieve.

Career Highlight:

My highlight has definitely been winning both Indoor and Outdoor IPT titles with WP as well as winning the WP Mens Grand Challenge League in 2019. It was quite a tough year in my life and I had really contemplated whether or not I would play hockey in 2019, but something told me to continue to put the graft in and I was able to achieve something special with support of all involved in the above mentioned teams.
