I am a Dad to 2 young boys. I have had a life-time love affair with riding bicycles and am excited to finally give bmx racing a try. My riding as a young boy was an opportunity to explore! - see new parts of the neighborhood, find and push my own physical limits, make new friends etc In my early teens, growing up in Ontario, Canada I wanted to race BMX but the nearest track was hundreds of KM's away. So I started to explore what could be done on a bike through my bmx and learning flatland, street and park riding. In my late teens my family moved to British Columbia and I got a Mountain Bike. I discovered a great community of riders, events and endless trails. I learned that racing road bikes would help me develop my engine for racing XC. Then DH became a thing and I learned how the gym could help my riding. Finally enduro has become hugely popular and it has been a blast to see how the various disciplines are closely related. All of it is an opportunity to ride bikes, explore, and learn more about myself and the world I live in.

In my thirties I started a training and coaching business for cyclist based in North Vancouver, BC called BONDtraining.ca. It has been an instrumental tool for training elite and amateur riders in multiple cycling disciplines. I am very proud of the results the program has produced. Participants have gone on to produce National and Provincial Championships in several different cycling disciplines but it has also been instrumental in helping individuals achieve important personal bests on the bike. The program attracts a diverse group of wonderful people and it's a privilege to be able to share my knowledge of how to use the the gym to enhance participants experience on the bike.

As my 2 boys get into riding I am excited to have access to a wonderful BMX community at North Shore BMX. There is plenty of encouragement, camaraderie and knowledge at the track and I am thrilled to be able to explore BMX racing alongside my 2 boys. I would like to be a resource in sharing my knowledge of how to use the gym to elicit better, faster, safer BMX riders. I am currently riding a 2019 HARO Annex Cruiser and am in the market for a 20" XL or XXL for myself. I've enjoyed my first season of racing am excited for what's in store in 2022! See you at the track.
