fencing

i started my fencing career roughly 25 years ago, and competed as a foilist and sabreur. i have been coaching for over 15 years, and have led several fencers to national and international success. i am currently the head coach and president of westdale fencing club, which is a thriving community club in hamilton, ontario. i also currently serve as personal coach to several members of the canadian national squad, and am president of the ontario fencing association.

i am trained and certified as a master coach in all weapons, and am registered as a coach, referee, learning facilitator, master evaluator and master learning facilitator with the canadian association of coaches, the canadian fencing federation and the ontario fencing association.

i am very involved with the development of the sport at many levels, and sit on several provincial and national committees in my 'spare time'. i am also an occasional consultant for sport canada.
