I am a graduate of St. Joseph’s Collegiate Institute. In high school I was on the wrestling team. In my senior year I was recognized and received one of the “Coach’s Awards.” I worked as a lifeguard for the city of Buffalo for 5 years. During that time, I saved the lives of 6 people.
I had planned to go into the Special Forces after high school. I knew the grueling physical and mental requirements that were required, so I figured what better to build both mental and physical toughness than boxing. After bouncing around a few gyms looking for the right trainer I met Tyler, began training, and fell in love with the sport.
After training for over a year I received the opportunity to work for Parkinsons Boxing LLC. After witnessing the effects of the program on the clients, my military dreams went out the window. I have been working at Parkinsons Boxing LLC ever since and feel lucky to be a part of this family.
Griffin, my sister-in-law Tania has been a client of yours for a few years. The warmth, love, and caring support you have given her is a true blessing. She has told me many stories about "forgetting" her cane because she didn’t need it. I just saw Dean’s poem "down and to the left". It brought tears to my eyes. The hope, optimism, and tangible progress you and the staff deliver is Godly Blessing for those afflicted with Parkinson’s.
