I dream to make a difference in the lives of those waiting for an organ transplant.The Move For Life Foundation fuels my desire to shorten the waitlist and increase chances of survival, by financially helping transplant programs across Canada to attain what they need to perform as many life saving transplants as possible.

I have a hereditary disease, (hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia, or H.H.T) which required me to need a life saving liver transplant in 2016. Organ donation has played a vital role within my family. My mom would not be here today had she not received 2 life saving liver transplants.

Since the transplant, I’ve been more dedicated than ever to my health, and wanting to share the joys and benefits of living a healthy lifestyle with others. I have since gone on to compete in swimming at the World Transplant Games where I currently hold 3 world records in my age group!

I live in London, Ontario with my husband and our dog Louie where I run my own business as a hairstylist. I am always looking for a place to swim and have a good time outdoors!

I am excited about the mission of the Move For Life Foundation, and as the executive director of the foundation, I plan to work with my team for years to come, making a difference in the lives of many, and making an impact on organ donation across Canada!

I always wanted to make sense of my Kidney disease and the transplant that came with it. I first accomplished this by competing on the world stage at the World Transplant Games. Now, as the president of the Move for Life foundation, I wish to showcase even more what transplant can do. I was diagnosed

with a degenerative kidney disease in 2004, while in my second year in University. The transplant has changed my life forever, as I was really starting to fade around 2011-2012.

Since then, I have competed in 3 World Transplant Games (Argentina, Spain and England), won 13 medals and broke 2 world records in the swimming events.

Born and raised in Montréal, I still live here with my girlfriend. I have a Business degree and I work in the technology field.

I continue to swim as much as I can and to showcase the wonderful power of transplant!

I am forever grateful for the extra 25+ years me and my family were given with my grandfather after he received a heart transplant. This has given me the motivation to be more involved in an initiative regarding Organ Transplant. We all have it in us to give families the gift of time, as mine was given. I am very excited to

be a part of this new venture with an amazing team. I was born and raised in London, Ontario where I also received a B.E.Sc. From the University of Western. I am an Electrical Engineer and Principal at Smith + Andersen. I have always been involved in athletics and thrive on pushing and challenging myself. Currently I am training and competing in Olympic Weightlifting as a Masters athlete. Most importantly I am a father of four and husband (….to one), which has allowed me to master the art of patience and selective hearing.
