I have been an active member of Boxing Ontario for over 15 years as a boxer, coach and official. Beyond the tremendous impact which the sport of boxing has had on me personally during this time, I have also witnessed the transformative effect of boxing in so many others’ lives.
In January of this year, I had the pleasure of taking on the role of Provincial Official for Ontario. We’ve since facilitated 3 tournaments and successfully executed one of Ontario’s largest advancing tournaments in our sport’s history. In less than one year, our team has started working with the clubs, coaches and boxers, to help develop structures and lines of communication aimed at advancing the quality, safety and professionalism of the sport of boxing.
I’m honoured to have the trust of the membership as I embark on the Precedency of Boxing Ontario. I realize this is a huge responsibility and won’t take it for granted. I truly believe we have incredible talent in our province coupled with access to the best resources. I know that we will achieve world-class success with clear, united direction.
As an active Official with Boxing Canada and AIBA Boxing, I’m fortunate to be included in seminars by International Boxing top executives and course facilitators on each International assignment. I’m excited to bring back the knowledge and strategies being provided at the highest level of boxing to our local association, membership and ultimately to the athletes of Boxing Ontario.
I’m looking forward to helping to create structures and transparency, while investing back into the province and sport that has completed my life!
