My goals for the 2007 Canada Winter Games

Overall, I look forward to a high level of squash competition, and meeting players from other provinces. The Alberta team is comprised of excellent players. Together, I hope we can demonstrate the sportsmanship and entertaining value of squash, and I will do my best to contribute to a first place standing.

My personal role model

Jonathan Power - He is an awsome player who has helped to motivate young Canadians to do their best, showing that we can compete at the world level.

Other information that could be of interest to the media

I am from a family of four children, all of whom are home schooled, and all play squash. Many of our family vacations and much of our family time is centered around squash tournaments. My younger brother Andrew, in particular, is an excellent player. I hope he will credit me with helping to develop his skill. My Father is a doctor, who thinks he is one of the most "under-recognized" squash coaches in Canada.
