I'm a national-champion Olympic weightlifter from an Acadian family, originally from Campbellton, New Brunswick and now based in Truro, Nova Scotia, where I co-own a gym. I've competed internationally for Team Canada, including the 2022 IWF World Championships and multiple Pan American Championships. Stella Maris — Star of the Sea — is the program I've built from that journey: years of competing internationally, learning from different coaching philosophies, making mistakes, adapting, and refining my approach. Weightlifting has given me direction, discipline, patience, humility and resilience, and my goal isn't simply to write programs — it's to help athletes build confidence under the bar, understand their training more deeply, and create long-term progress.

I started out in powerlifting but over time transitioned to focus solely on weightlifting. In 2022 I began coaching at my local club in Lausanne, where I became head coach. What started as a student job (because I was the best competitor there) soon turned into a real passion and got more and more serious. By the end of 2023 many people started asking me for programs and extra coaching. That's really when it started for me, and it's been a growing journey ever since. One athlete I'm especially proud of is Claudia, a masters lifter I used to coach. She had stopped training for a while, but she missed it and was motivated to lift again, so she asked me to start coaching her. At the beginning there were a lot of doubts and she was very frustrated, but we communicated and adapted really well together. In very little time she hit all-time PRs, including the 120kg back squat she really wanted, plus PRs in the snatch and clean & jerk, and rediscovered the joy of competing. Now we're preparing for the World Masters Championship in Athens, and I really enjoy working with her.

There's a big gap in rowing around strength and conditioning — how to move better and become stronger. Most rowers treat S&C as "let's do a hard, fatiguing session" without actually achieving anything beyond making themselves tired. I want to change that. I coach positional strength first, before pushing heavier loads, and train athletes to move well under load rather than chase ego. I'm a competitive rower and weightlifter myself, and I lead athletes toward real technical progress and personal bests.
