It was at the urging of my good friend and ATC Director of Skating Dawn Braid.  3 years ago she had me assisting her with minor hockey players.  2011 was a career changing year for me.  Dawn Braid brought me on board at the ATC and I assisted her at the Anaheim Ducks camp main camp.  In addition, I also worked at Tampa Bays main camp.  Working with NHL players and the elite athletes at the ATC was so rewarding that I now work solely with hockey players.

I am now working with former NHL all-star Adam Foote and his organization, CHL comissioner David Branch, and also for some NHL player agents.
