Started competing in 2002, placed second at the Canadians, went on to win the World Chiefs Title in 2002. In 2003 won the bronze medal in the Chiefs division in Ottawa.

As an active member of our departments high angle rescue/helicopter rescue teams I believe its important to stay at a peak fitness level. I find training for the challenge offers that type of cross training which helps in the day to day challenges of a fire department. It makes life easier when the bell rings.

I don't take any supplements and am not that big on dietary habits. I usually just eat well balanced mealsm trying not to over eat.

Hey girls, just updating my bio. 2002 Gold in Chief Officers , 2003 Bronze World Chiefs, 2004 Bronze World Chiefs, 2004 Gold World Over 45, World Recorder Holder Over 45 (1:46) Ran personal best time at Canadian Nationals 1:34. Hope this old body holds out for two more years.

I don't really know where I'm headed career wise... I'm happy being with ARFF, but may make the jump back to structural. Fitness wise, I am committed to my team, first and foremost. My goal is sub 100. Currently I stand at 1: 47 seconds. I've had trouble maintaining that standard this year but will continue to drive toward my goal. Diverse training is the key. Not to rule anything out. Took up yoga this year, on top of all the stairs, weighted stairs, weights, hill running, and psychological training I usually do. Supplement with protein, but don't believe in anything else - well, May be a Tim Hortens Coffee: not that Starbucks Crap!
