Academic Profile

I hold a B.A. in Psychology and a M.A. in Exercise Psychology from the University of British Columbia. I completed my Ph.D. in Behavioral Medicine at the University of Alberta and began a faculty position at the University of Victoria in June of 2001.

 My primary research and teaching area is focused on the psychology of physical activity and sedentary behaviour. I have applied interests in early family development of physical activity and the health of new parents. For a complete profile of my research, my specific areas of interest, publications, and presentations are listed in the research section of this website. I have a secondary teaching interest in research methods and design as well as statistics. Please see the courses section of my website for these topics.

Those interested in graduate studies under my supervision should contact me to discuss their background and research interests. Further information on graduate student supervision is provided in the service section of this website.


Personal Profile

I was born in Victoria in 1973, but spent most of my life in Vancouver, British Columbia. When not working, I like to spend time with my wife, Valerie Irvine, our daughters, Lauren and Rachel, and my golden retriever named Sydney. I enjoy running Victoria's oceanfront, walking my dog, and good cuisine. I am also an avid film buff and gamer.
