From the Rugby Fields to the Boardrooms,

to self-discovery: My Journey to Mastery.

I often look back and marvel at the chapters of my life…

Each phase feels like a different lifetime, a journey marked by soaring highs, debilitating lows, and transformative lessons.

From the picturesque landscapes of Southern France, where the crashing of the waves was only outdone by the roars of the rugby crowd, I embarked on a journey of grit and discipline. Playing with some of the best in the sport, at RC Toulon, I was far from the superstar. But, every game was a masterclass in resilience, determination, and peak performance. Off the field, my academic pursuits weren't any less demanding—three Masters, two in engineering and an MBA, all while balancing the rigorous demands of professional sport.

But as we often find, peaks cast long shadows. Away from home, grappling with the relentless demands of sport and academics, injuries brought me face to face with isolation. Extended hospital stays in a foreign land, alone, gave me too much time with my thoughts. It was hard, perhaps harder than any game I ever played.

My subsequent move to Montreal was meant to be a fresh start. Instead, the unfamiliar cold of Canadian winters reflected my internal state. A job I didn't resonate with, a heartbreaking end to a relationship, and the lingering memories of the sunnier days in France, culminated in a moment atop a Montreal bridge. A moment where life itself hung in balance.

Yet, from the depths of those valleys, a new dawn emerged. The intense solitude drove me to delve deep into personal development. The obsession wasn't just about rescuing myself, but about understanding the intricate complexities of the human mind, mastering it, and aligning it with the soul. The transformation was profound, moving from external achievements to internal fulfillment.

Success in the corporate world came swiftly in Canada. From consulting to shouldering leadership roles in multimillion-dollar ventures, my professional journey reflected my internal transformation. Yet, this too had its valleys—moments of being caught in boardroom politics, of navigating company culture during global unrest, and the heart-wrenching decisions of employee layoffs.

Through it all, one thing became crystal clear: life's most profound lessons aren't found at the peaks, but in the valleys. The moments of solitude, of introspection, taught me more about life, success, and fulfillment than any classroom or rugby field ever could.

Today, equipped with those lessons, my mission has taken on a renewed focus and clarity. I've been privileged to call diverse places home – from the vibrant cityscape of Toronto to the serene beaches of Nicaragua and the historical tapestry of Europe. Each location, with its unique rhythm and energy, has added to my life's tapestry, shaping me into the person I am today.

But it's not just the places, it's the people, the interactions, the shared dreams, and the common struggles that have truly transformed my journey.

My dedication to coaching isn't merely a choice; it's a calling.

Why? Because I know firsthand the power of guidance, the significance of having someone believe in you when you're on the brink, the importance of having a mentor who's walked the path you're embarking on.

The lessons from the rugby field, the boardrooms, and the introspective nights on foreign lands culminate in my coaching practice. And I bring every ounce of that experience, passion, and dedication to the table because I know what's at stake. I've been in the trenches, navigated the peaks and valleys, and emerged stronger. And that's the journey I commit to walking with each person I coach.

I'm not just good at what I do. I excel, because every strategy, every piece of advice, and every exercise comes from a place of lived experience and genuine understanding.

So, if you're standing at a crossroads, seeking clarity, direction, or simply someone who's been there, I invite you to walk this journey with me. Together, we'll navigate the intricate dance of life, finding success, balance, and, most importantly, fulfillment.

Thank you for pausing, for taking a moment to understand my journey. I hope my story resonates with a chord in your heart, reminding you that even in the darkest valleys, there's always a path leading to the peak. And often, all we need is a guiding hand.
