Having first attained a Bachelor of Physical Education Degree and then an after-degree in Education, I then acquired certification as a Resistance Trainer and as a Fitness Appraiser. This wealth of education and experience, combined with my passion for writing, helped me to create LIFESTYLE FITNESS. In the early 2000's I met the owner of a Sumo program in the U.S. After learning the various aspects and history of Sumo from him, and with the subsequent research that I did, I created a middle school program, which I call SUMOFUN 101. From 2000 through 2017, I worked 18 summers at a hockey school in central Alberta. I undertook various positions while working at the camp, including in-class instructor, on-ice instructor, power-skating instructor, and Physical Education instructor. Also, during my time at the camp, I completed over 12,000 evaluation forms for the students at the camp. It was my roles as in-class instructor and on-ice instructor that gave me the knowledge and experience to create my hockey program, HOCKEY FUN FOR EVERYONE.

Writing is a passion of mine. I enjoy writing about my various hiking/travel experiences, and I love to create stories/poems related to the various seasons and holidays of the year, especially Christmas. Over 20 of my Christmas writings have been published since 2001, and I self-published a collection of my Christmas writings on Amazon, in a book titled "Finding Christmas - Tales and Poems of the Spirit of Christmas"
