At the age of 26 I bring a game face everyday. I am a leader and a communicator. Over the past number of years I have helped with many charities. Working with the Molson Indy Festival organization I managed to raise over a $130 000 working with many corporations across Ontario, such as City TV, RBC and TD Bank.

I also managed to help Timbits Hockey jamborees’ by coaching many children on their skills and development in minor hockey.
