He then joined the military at age 22 and began competing CrossFit competitively for 7 years. He has made over 55 competitive appearances including individual competitions at the Granite Games and Atlas Games. At age 28 he wanted to dive deeper into the science behind health, moving to Ottawa with his wife to study psychology and neuroscience at Carleton University full-time.
