I have played hockey since the age of 2 where I grew up skating on frozen ponds till it was dark outside. I was blessed with a natural ability to skate and score goals. I played minor hockey in Parksvile, Nanaimo and spent a year at Notre Dame in Wilcox,Sask. When I was 16 I played for the Powell River Paper Kings till I was 21. Spent the next couple years playing for the Powell River Regals and started life after full time hockey.
I started teaching power skating in Nanaimo. I realized I had a passion for teaching and I possessed an ability to explain skating in simple language to people of all ages and abilities. In 1996 I started a power skating school out of the Parksville Arena and in my first year I had 40 kids. I'm now running 4 programs through out the summer and roughly see 100-150 kids over the summer. Also run programs for Parks & Rec in Nanaimo, Parksville and Fuller Lake.
