Known as the Jack of all trades but master of none (well I excelled at track and field at a very young age). Throughout high school I was an all-around athlete, playing several sports at the provincial level/ national level. I always loved hard work and thrived with competition. The linear route out of high school would have been a track scholarship to a Division 1 school for long jump & triple jump, but life had other plans. A podcast inspired me to sign up for a 100km race, and next thing I know I am flying across the world to represent my Country at World Championships. But my roots of being an all around athlete, and not just a runner drew me to the Sport of Obstacle Racing.
