A former member of the Canadian Armed Forces, he spent over a decade training for and operating in high-stakes environments where resilience, clarity, and leadership are non-negotiable. Today, he brings that experience to CEOs and executive teams, helping them build the mental toughness and composure required to lead through uncertainty.

His clients range from Olympic gold medalists to major financial institutions and national organisations. His focus is consistent: make leaders more effective, more resilient, and more impactful.
