Founder & Performance Specialist

Rich studied Exercise Science at Concordia University in Montreal.

He then interned at Mike Boyle Strength & Conditioning (MBSC) in 2009. Shortly after he acquired sports & exercise nutrition certification Pn1 from Precision Nutrition.

When Rich returned to Montreal, he started the Athletic Development Program at CoreXcellence. Where, for 10 years he had the opportunity to train hockey players from high-school to NCAA, Semi-pro, KHL, and NHL.

During those 10 years, Rich was the internship coordinator and Senior Performance Specialist and applied principles from the 7+ courses he has taken from PRI (Postural Restoration Institute).

Since 2014 Rich has appeared on Live Tv as a Fitness and Sports Training Consultant.

Rich leverages his skills acquired from teaching power skating and giving workshops to connect with the young athlete population, business executives, stay-at-home parents.

He realized the commonalities amongst populations is that a lot of us enjoy jumping, throwing, running, and competing.

This is the basis that EMPWR - Fitness & Sports Training was created upon.

At EMPWR, we aren't only interested in moving you up past the average.

We are committed to moving the entire average up.

Our community strives to be healthy, athletic, productive, and inclusive.

Rich’s training system was designed to empower and elevate performance. Performance is defined by what matters to you, and that's what matters most to Rich.
