General Interest

LEARN-TO-PUSH
Works at learn-to-push camps with new bobsleigh recruits and high school programs with Alberta Bobsleigh. He has given hundreds of Canadians the thrill of sitting in a sled while blasting down the Olympic Tracks in Calgary or Whistler as a pilot of the public bobsleigh programmes. He loves seeing the fear at the top turn to smiles at the bottom. (bobsleighcanadaskeleton.ca)

Overall winner in the four-man in the 2021/22 IBSF North American Cup. Was on the podium in six of the eight races that season.
