About Me
I'm back for round 2.
I'm lacing up the gloves again and stepping back into the ring for the 2026 Victory Gala because one year wasn't enough. The Pinball Foundation doesn’t just give youth a "shot" it gives them the tuition, mentorship, career paths, and the armor to actually win the fight. I’ve seen the impact firsthand, and we're not done yet.
I’m trading blood and sweat for scholarships. I’ll take the hits in the ring so these kids don’t have to take them in life.
The target is $10,000, but we’re not stopping there - this year, we’re pushing for more. I’ll take the punches, you provide the lifeline. I just need you in my corner.
Why
Who inspires you everyday?
My fuel comes from my son—my number one—along with my family, friends, and the coaches at Oakville Boxing Academy who push me past my limits every single day. They are the ones who inspire me to keep swinging when the tank is empty.​
Inspiration Song:
Thunderstruck - AC/DC
​
Inspiring Quote:
"Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth." - Muhammad Ali​
​
What should your opponent watch out for?
Watch for the man who has already been through the fire. Most people treat this as a bucket-list checkmark; I’m back for Round 2 because the job isn’t finished.
​
What's the first thing you'll do after you win?
Victory isn’t a solo sport. I wouldn't be standing here without the relentless team at Oakville Boxing Academy so the first thing I'll do when that bell rings is thank my coaches for all their hard work and dedication and the session that pushed me past my limits.
​
​I'm not doing this for the fame or the spotlight, I’m doing it for the Foundation. More importantly, I’m doing it for my son, I want him to see that true strength lies in protecting our community and reaching out to help others.
