“(Bauer) runs the show and is my head coach. She is primarily responsible for my jumps and program training,” he explained. “I also train with Rod Macky who reinforces the training that I do with (Bauer). One or two days a week I train at Coquitlam Skating Club alongside Ronald Lam and the Finnish National champion Bella Paap, with Bruno Del Maestro (1984 Italian Olympic team member). For the past four years, I have been traveling to Calgary to train with Vaughn Chipeur’s former coach Scott Davis. My choreographer for the past five years has been Mark Pillay, who in addition to creating my programs, has recently began helping me with spins and other elements so that I can get the highest levels.”
“Being compared to Patrick Chan is a very big compliment and it always puts a smile on my face,” he admitted. “I admire his skating very much and so do many others, so when people say that I remind them of him, I am flattered.”
