The voice on the course

I'm a marketing and live event pro with a decade of experience bringing stories to life for IRONMAN, the UTMB World Series, Ragnar Relay, and Hello Burlington. I started in video production and still love creating content that connects with people.

I'm an IRONMAN and 100-mile ultramarathon finisher, ski mountaineer, and mountain biker, with summits of the Matterhorn, Mont Blanc, and Cotopaxi. Based in North Vancouver, you'll find me riding Fromme and Seymour or skiing Grouse and Whistler.

I work with endurance event companies across North America on everything from on-site operations, audio, and power to content and emceeing, always focused on experiences that make people want to get outside and explore.
