Michael is one of the first people in Vancouver to be practising parkour, and he has been involved with the sport for over 2 decades. The kids used to call that an OG.

Amidst his athletic endeavours, he began to pursue a Bachelors degree in Coaching and Physical Education. Eventually an opportunity presented itself to coach at Origins, and he was excited to put his schooling to use, and to share his love of movement with anyone who would listen.

Michael is a multi-disciplinary athlete who enjoys many actions sports, like rollerblading, skateboarding, snowboarding and skimboarding. Over the years he has ended up coaching most of those sports as well.

He believes in a "Fit for life" model of activity, and tries to share his passion with anyone who is keen to improve themselves through movement.
