My goals for the 2007 Canada Winter Games

My goals are to, be the best that I can be, represent the community that I live in, and to give the sport that I compete in a positive face.

My personal role model

My personal role model is Eva Rochelle Paul. Eva is an amazing friend and neighbor that showed me that anything is possible with enough hard work and motivation. She always had an encouraging word for me when I got back from a competition and that really meant a lot to me. She deserves some recognition for this. So, thanks Eva.

Other information that could be of interest to the media

I was born in Lethbridge Alberta and then moved to Waskesiu Lake when I was two. I strongly believe in being involved within the community and I have been a member of the Waskesiu Fire Department for the past three and a half years. I first started shooting air rifle and the switched to air pistol which I train on a regular basis.
