Connection | Resilience | Play
I love to help participants feel limitless by allowing them to access their dream experiences. Every step of the way is fun, adventurous and health focused!
My Story
I started out my adult journey as a boiler maker, security guard and in construction. At 23 I was a father of 3 and loved watching my children grow. My life took a dark turn in my late 20's when I started to lose everything I held close to me.Over the last 6 years, I have spent most of my time improving my physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health so I can show up and be the best father possible.
This opened up the doorway for me to become a men's coach and mentor and to step into disability support work so I could pass my experience and knowledge on!
