My Story

After a long recovery from a Staph infection at just 10 years of age that resulted in amputations to both legs as well as fingers and thumbs, I made the decision to not let it stop me from achieving my dreams. As soon as I was healthy enough to participate in sport my family registered me with the local sledge hockey team; which we quickly discovered was not the ideal sport for a kid who was missing his fingers.

Next up was wheelchair basketball. I immediately fell in love with the sport and had dreams of becoming a Paralympian in basketball. However, that dream ended up heading in a slightly different direction after I found wheelchair rugby (AKA Murderball). After making the Canadian Senior National team at just 16 years of age I very quickly realized that my dream was becoming a reality. only 18 short months after first playing the sport I was representing Canada on the world stage at the 2012 London Paralympic Games.
