Team Bios

Born and raised in Newfoundland I moved west ten years ago, jumping between mountain towns since. Presently, I am 29 years old residing in Squamish, B.C. and entering just my third race season. Prior to March of 2004 I had only run more than 10km three times in my entire life and somehow I have managed to convince myself that an 800km expedition race was within grasp for 2006!
My love of endurance racing is split between adventure racing and trail running/snowshoe running. My goal is to be a top competitor in every race that I enter, while still having as much fun as possible.

Since I can remember I have always been 100% outdoor enthusiast. My family exposed me to skiing and canoeing at an early age and I have grown up with a continuing love for both of these sports. I had always wanted to combine my love for the outdoors with competitive racing but lacked the time and opportunity to do so while attending school. In the fall of 2003 I competed in my first Adventure Race. Although my team did not finish, the race made me realize that I had found the perfect sport to mesh my passion for the outdoors with my love for racing.
After graduating with a degree in Marketing Management I decided to move immediately to Whistler for three reasons; to satisfy my cravings to ski bum "out West", to train for adventure racing and to explore jobs in the field of marketing.
As it goes I have been living in Whistler since January 2004. My trail running, mountain biking and adventure racing life has dramatically changed and improved since I have moved. I have progressed from 10-km races to Ultra-marathons, from day sprint adventure races to 36-hour events. The MOMAR races have been a huge part of my progression. It was the first adventure race series in which I competed in B.C. and has been a continuous staple.
