I launched my career in the event industry in 2006 by volunteering at events such as Ookfest and the Big Valley Jamboree. After graduating from the Digital & Interactive Media Design program at NAIT with a 4.0 GPA, I further earned the ‘Jimmie Condon Scholarship’ for my volunteer work with the NAIT Hockey Team in my years there.

In 2014, I was celebrated as a “Sizzling 20 Under 30” by Edmontonian’s Magazine. The Sizzlers represent the best of the best of young adults who are as dedicated to causes as they are to careers. They are the products of Edmonton’s colleges, universities and life’s experiences – driven by the need to succeed and to give back.

As one of the ‘founding fathers’ of Trixstar, I've produced and managed many nationally acclaimed events such as the Big Valley Jamboree, Grey Cup Festival, Soundtrack Music Festival, Red Bull Crashed Ice, Jasper Dark Sky Festival, nation-wide tours with William Shatner, Kenny vs Spenny & Dog the Bounty Hunter, and much more! Through my expertise on event marketing and social media we also started up Jackalope Creative; a festival/event marketing agency.

I was a volunteer at the Connect Society in Edmonton from 2009-2016 as a teacher’s aide and mentored pre-school children with disabilities as a big brother. I currently sit on the Make-A-Wish Medical Outreach Committee and helped host monthly Workshops at both the Ronald McDonald House and the Stollery Children's Hospital when I was in Edmonton, as well as put on milestone events for Make-A-Wish like World Wish Day and the annual Halloween party for the kids and families at RMH. Through Make-A-Wish we also created Craft Kits full of inspirational craft ideas and materials encouraging kids stuck in isolation at Childrens Hospitals to think creatively and with an open mind.

Since moving to Calgary I've joined up with 100 Men Who Give A Damn, and will be volunteering as an Assistant Coach with various sporting programs with the Special Olympics.
