International Awards

I am a 12 time medalist in competition within the Americas, with 5 x Gold, 4 x Silver, and 3 x Bronze over the past 10 years.

National Awards

In Canadian tournaments, I’ve earned 1 x Gold, 3 x Silver, and 2 x Bronze — most recently being defeated by my wife in the finals of the Canadian National Iaido Championships in the 4th degree black-belt category.

Provincial Awards

In regional tournaments, I’ve earned 2 x Golds and 3 x Silvers.

Video Production

As an amateur videographer, I constantly look for ways to practice this craft. It’s been a great way to capture memories with my daughter, and a different way to play in the design consulting space by sharing research insights and showcasing team culture through visual media.

Training During a Pandemic

I filmed and edited this video to show us persevering in our practice by adapting our training to the covid lockdowns in Toronto.
