Hello.

My focus is competitive mountain endurance, particularly skimo, trail racing, FKTs, and speed ascents.

Starting in 1996, I've pursued mountain sports from multiple perspectives: as a beginner, a sponsored climber, a member of the Canadian National Ski Mountaineering Team, a coach, and a lifelong student of endurance and performance.

My coaching philosophy was shaped by Scott Johnston, co-author of Training for the New Alpinism and Training for the Uphill Athlete. I later coached at Uphill Athlete before rejoining Scott at Evoke Endurance in 2026. Along the way, I completed the Hintsa Performance Coaching program, broadening my perspective beyond training to the wider factors that influence long-term performance.

This site is where I think in public. I write about training, mountain sports, coaching, and the occasional idea that doesn’t fit neatly into any of those categories.
