I am passionate about interacting and learning from others, and love being able to see people reach their full potential and live with good quality of life through exercise and physical activity!

My personal philosophy is:

Get to know the person, not just the patient.

What I do for fun:

I enjoy activities that allow me to spend time with my wife and two daughters. Riding on the bike trails of Ottawa, playing golf, hockey and soccer are just a few of the things that keep me active. As well, spending a few days at the gym working on strength and aerobic conditioning allow me to stay fit and keep pace with my active children. With very little down time, I occasionally like to spend a quiet night at home watching a movie or playing the Wii.
