After completing a couple seasons as a self-coached long course
triathlete I recognized a coach could push me to a higher level. I
researched various coaches and eventually selected Brian Grasky largely
because of his proven performance and the recommendations of his
past/present athletes. After meeting with Brian in person it was clear
that he was who I wanted to coach me. He understood the military life,
had a similar approach to training, and was committed to the success of
his athletes. This will be my first season with GEC and it is already
looking great.
I am first and foremost a Christian. I owe my
life to my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ who graciously died on the
cross for my sins. I am happily married to an amazing young lady and the
father of two precious children. As a professional, I am an Aerospace
Engineering Officer in the Royal Canadian Air Force. Finally between
balancing a busy family life and a military career I am amateur
triathlete who suffers through the swim, hammers on the bike, and races
the run.
