About Me
Career
I have contributed to the health and fitness industry for over 30 years, both as a former Chiropractor and as a Personal Trainer. I’ve been rated as one of the top reviewed Chiropractors in the city with a reputation for fixing problems that most other practitioners deemed “unfixable”. My philosophy is to find and fix the root cause of an issue and that people with chronic unresolvable pain did not have to accept the final diagnosis of ‘you just have to live it with it, or it’s just in your head’. I hold the same philosophy as a life/health/executive coach. Many of my coaching clients have expressed that I have helped them to identify and break negative patterns of thoughts and behaviors in a couple of months, compared to what they have been able to accomplish over decades with their traditional counsellors and therapists.
I am a student of health optimization and bio-hacking (“the art and science of changing the environment around you and inside you, so you have more control over your own biology,” – Dave Asprey). I have invested hundreds of hours reading and studying the latest proven methods, technologies, and human psychology for us to live our most optimal life in every way. Now nearing my 50s, I feel and (hopefully) look better today than I did in my 20s. As a heath coach, I am passionate about teaching my clients everything that I have learned so they can live an optimal life and become the superhumans they were intended to be.
As an executive coach, I enjoy helping my high-level executives navigate the demands placed on them through work and family life, to young executives trying to make their mark on the world. As a life and relationship coach I work with parents struggling with their marriage and raising their kids, as well as people who are struggling with financial hardship and addictions and the legacy of abuse.
Clientele
I have the privilege of working in the most prestigious location in our country, Toronto’s Financial District. Over the past 20 years as one of the city’s top-rated Chiropractors, some of the most brilliant minds and talents in our nation have requested my help in getting them out of physical pain. Many of my clients are CEOs and high-level executives across banking, investment, law, and tech industries. I have also worked with professional athletes, dancers and musicians. Many of my chiropractic patients have also become my coaching clients.
Business and Leadership
I am a passionate student of Leadership, including leadership in business. I’ve attended numerous leadership conferences for over 20 years to learn from top business, political, entertainment, and faith-based leaders and enjoy providing consultation to existing and start-up health clinics and businesses.
I have successfully led a small struggling clinic in the Toronto financial district and grew it into a large profitable multi-disciplinary clinic. I was on the executive team of a large chain of executive health clubs in the financial district and helped steer the company to record profits. I volunteered my time on the leadership team of a local church for more than 10 years. During this time, I started and led an outreach sports ministry working directly with sports celebrities including former WWE superstar the “Million Dollar Man” Ted Dibiase, CFL hall of famer Mike “Pinball” Clemons, Raptors announcer Herbie Kuhn, and others.
Speaker
For over a decade, I have been requested by law firms, banks and tech companies in the financial district to provide interactive seminars on ergonomics, injury prevention, and fitness for their employees and teams. If your company would like to schedule a seminar or ergonomic assessments, contact me for more information.
Sports and Leisure
In my personal time, I enjoy anything with wheels, speed and adventure. I’ve been riding motorcycles since I was 16 and you may see me commuting to work along the lakeshore on my One-Wheel. I love to skydive, scuba dive, and camp/portage. I am also a sports enthusiast and played varsity football with York University, and Semi-Professional football in the Northern Football Conference with the Oakville Longhorns. I have recently become a consistent low-mid handicap golfer and also enjoy snowboarding, hockey, and baseball.
Family
I met my wife in high school and we have been married for 20 years. We have a daughter and 2 senior cats. I am surrounded by loving and active parents, a sister and her amazing family, and many lifelong friends.
