His dedication and talent continued to shine as he claimed the title of Rookie of the Year as a member of Niagara College’s Mens Varsity Soccer team.

Beyond athletics, Simon finds solace in savouring life’s simple pleasures, with a particular fondness for ribs and a perfectly cooked steak. If he’s not kneading away tension for our clients, he enthusiastically cheers on his favourite soccer teams, Benfica, Chelsea, and AC Milan.
