I am honoured to share that I have joined Alberta Bobsleigh Association as the Director of Sport
Development and Performance.
With 30+ years in sport physiology, elite performance, and system development, I am committed
to helping build a deeper pool of resilient, high performing athletes in sliding sports. My work
will focus on advancing coach development, strengthening evidence-based programming, and
creating safe, sustainable pathways that allow athletes to thrive – and extend their sport lives.
Bobsleigh is an incredible next-chapter sport. It offers athletes from diverse backgrounds the
opportunity to compete at the highest levels, learn new skills, and discover an entirely new
competitive identity. I am excited to contribute to a system that not only supports the next
generation of champions, but builds the foundation for multiple generations to succeed.
Grateful for the opportunity!

As we look ahead to the new year and the 2026 Olympic Winter Games, the Alberta Bobsleigh Association steps forward with renewed energy and purpose. We are more than a provincial sport organization—we are a community dedicated to opening doors for emerging and second-chance athletes to explore, grow, and excel in the thrilling sport of bobsleigh.

On behalf of the ABA Board of Directors, I want to extend our deepest gratitude to Brent Berezowski for his extraordinary leadership as he steps down as Board President. Brent’s vision, dedication, and heart have shaped the foundation of ABA—from his early days as an athlete to his influential role on the Board of Bobsleigh Canada Skeleton, and finally as our President. It is through his leadership that ABA is prepared to embrace new opportunities, reach new heights, and continue its journey of growth and excellence.

I am honoured and excited to take on the role of ABA Board President. I joined the Board in 2023 inspired by the incredible journey ABA made possible for my son, Isaak, allowing him to discover bobsleigh and represent Canada at the 2024 Gangwon Youth Olympic Games. Through this journey, I witnessed firsthand the power of sport to inspire, challenge, and unite—a power that ABA cultivates in every athlete, coach, and volunteer.

With a background in youth development and nonprofit leadership, I am passionate about helping individuals unlock their
potential and turning vision into meaningful action. As Board President, I am committed to upholding ABA’s values of Integrity, Hard Work, Excellence, and
Teamwork as we strive toward our mission: “Inspiring passion and champions on and off the ice” and our vision: “Establishing Alberta as a leading centre for bobsleigh in Canada and throughout the world.”

Our focus remains steadfast: ensuring the safety, wellness, and success of our athletes through comprehensive programming, coaching excellence, adherence to Safe Sport principles, and strong governance. We are equally committed to continue to build stronger connections with our national leadership – Bobsleigh Canada Skeleton (BCS) – and other provincial sport organizations across the country. Together, with collaboration and shared purpose, we will create development pathways for athletes and coaches to grow, achieve, and be inspired by the challenges and triumphs that bobsleigh offers.

The road ahead is thrilling, the potential is limitless, and the Alberta Bobsleigh Association is ready to lead with heart, vision, and determination. We invite all of our athletes, families, coaches, and supporters to join us in this exciting next chapter—where every push, every turn, and every victory brings us closer to our dreams.
