Before transitioning into asset management, I dedicated seven years to working in finance on the advisor side.  As a devoted athlete engaged in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, weightlifting, and competitive downhill mountain biking, my life took an unexpected turn in 2020. While training for a race, I experienced a severe accident that resulted in paralysis. Despite these challenges, my unwavering determination to defy the odds has propelled me through this transformative journey. Embracing grit, courage, and tenacity, I have pushed both my body and mind to new frontiers, surmounting obstacles and redefining my capabilities.

Today, I am a sponsored adaptive athlete with the High Fives Foundation, actively competing in adaptive mountain biking and exploring various athletic endeavors, from returning to the BJJ mats to engaging in Paralympic sports. In 2019, I co-founded Maximus Athletics, a growing supplement and fitness company poised to expand across North America.

Off the competitive fields, I find solace and expression in poetry, with a selection of my work available for readers on my website. In 2022, I furthered my commitment to supporting others by earning a certification through SCIO to become a peer mentor for young athletes navigating life-changing spinal cord injuries.

Join me in this ongoing quest to explore our potential and collectively defy the odds.
