Meet the Blogger

Welcome to my personal blog where I discuss hockey, men's mental health and being a dad. When I'm not on the ice or with my family I'm a working professional in the field of Information Technology. 

I wanted this blog to center around hockey because the sport has literally changed my life. I live with a number of health problems that are at this time uncurable, namely Type 1 Diabetes and Essential Thrombocythemia. I've also struggled with anxiety and depression since adolescence. Prior to starting my hockey journey I was carrying around well over 300 lbs on my 5'11'' frame, which needless to say was not helping any of my health conditions. Playing hockey has been the only exercise that has helped me lose weight and keep it off, not to mention the sport and its social aspects have given me an outlet to manage my mental health. 

​

My hope is that by writing about my experiences, i can inspire others who may be dealing with similar obstacles.
