I love dodgeball because it’s more than just a game, it’s a community of people who share the same passion. I’ve played at the Club, Provincial, and World level, and every step has made me more thankful to be part of this sport. I’m a humble, driven athlete who loves to train, compete, and constantly improve. The challenge and the community are what make dodgeball so special to me.
Kobe Bryant has always been someone who inspires me. His mindset was unmatched, the way he approached the game with intensity, focus, and that “Mamba Mentality” is something I really look up to. On and off the court, he carried himself with humility and dedication, always pushing to be better while lifting others up. He showed what it means to work hard, stay humble, and lead by example, and that’s the kind of athlete and person I strive to be.
My son is most proud of serving as the captain of the U18 Saskatchewan Warriors, one of the teams that represented Canada at the 2025 World Youth Dodgeball Championships in Calgary, Alberta this past February.
