Experience Behind Sea to Sky Sports

Sea to Sky Sports is founder-led. It comes from a lifetime spent in sport. Playing it, coaching it, refereeing it, and organizing it.

Our founder competed at the national level in two sports, representing Canada in rugby and swimming. He also competed at a high amateur level in hockey and soccer, and is climbing the regional pickleball ladder with a handful of podium finishes. He has coached five sports and refereed three, including serving as Referee-in-Chief for one of Canada’s largest soccer associations, overseeing more than 200 games each weekend.

His work in equity of access to sport has been recognized by Major League Soccer through its Community MVP Award and by NY1 as New Yorker of the Week.

That sporting life is matched by more than 30 years of work in policy, governance, and economic development, including as a Titmuss Prize-winning scholar in Social Policy at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) and through ongoing advisory work with Indigenous governments and international NGOs.

This mix matters because recreational sport is fragile. A good league can look easy enough from the outside: a field, a ball, a schedule, a few teams. But anyone who has played enough beer-league sport knows how quickly things can go sideways: lackadaisical scheduling, unclear rules, no (or non-qualified) officiating, policy-practice mismatch, and games that start to feel like it’s the Wild West out there.

Sea to Sky Sports is built against that drift.

We create leagues, tournaments, lessons, and events with clear rules, fair formats, steady communication, and attentive on-field oversight — so the experience stays fun, competitive, safe, and worth coming back to.
