WHO I AM 

Being competitive by nature, I took a liking to sports at a very young age. I began skiing in the backyard when he was about five years old. At the age of seven, I was involved in a Farm accident where I lost my left arm. While the accident was initially a major shock, it did not deter me from pursuing my love of sport and competition. I earned a Silver and a Bronze medal in the Biathlon races at the 2014 Paralympic Winter Games in Sochi. Four years later in PyeongChang 2018, I set a new Canadian record of six medals from a single Winter Games. Earning a medal for each of the six competitions I started. Becoming Paralympic Champion in the Biathlon Individual, with a Silver and a Bronze in the other two Biathlon competitions. In Cross Country, I added a Silver from the Relay and two Bronze medals from Cross Country events. I ended the 2018 Games as Team Canada's Flag Bearer at the Closing Ceremonies.
