About:

Well, who’s the 'craic'?

Irish born and raised. Grew up in the countryside surrounded by farms. He was always late for school as cattle blocked the road when they were walking to the milking parlor. He moved to Vancouver 5 years ago and got a job up in BC Children's Hospital as an Occupational Therapist. At the hospital, he completes early rehabilitation for post-trauma or injuries. He does a lot of work with orthopedics and fabricate splints and casts to promote function.

He started Crossfit in 2015 when he moved to Vancouver and took to it like a duck to water. After about a year, he started to coach and completed his CF level 1 certification. Since then, he’s coached part-time and has loved working with the community and helping athletes excel at functional fitness and achieving their fitness goals.

He has grown to love functional fitness and loves challenging his body with swimming, cycling, and running as well. He really want to continue to participate in triathlons, and eventually complete a full Ironman. He also loves spinning and outdoor cycling, and loves going on 70-90k road biking adventures on his weekends.

His big dream?to become a professional Surfer… however to date he’s only been on a surfboard three times - so if he ever stops coaching at Raincity it will be because he moved to Tofino. After that, he plansto become a professional skier… or join a bobsled team.
