Andrew has grown up in Rossland since the age of 1 when his family relocated for a job at Cominco (Teck). Andrew started Elevate in the winter of 2016 and is proud to see how much it has grown in a short period of time.
The Kootenays are everything to him, and he wants nothing more than to see the area grow. Andrew has seen athletic success at the varsity level having played Men’s Soccer through University and loves to work with young athletes as they pursue their dreams.
To say Andrew is passionate about helping and educating others in their fitness, health, performance journeys is an understatement. He values exercise science and implementing strict and gimmick-free methods of helping people get to where they want. In fact, on top of being a Kinesiologist and Strength Coach, Andrew just recently finished his Masters in Physical Therapy through UBC while living in Prince George!
Andrew is currently lives in Rossland with his beautiful wife Kailyn, and 3 CRAZY children Halyna, Oliver, and Marlo.
