It’s taken me a couple of days to put some words to the experience of this Blue Jays run, specifically game 7 that I was fortunate to be a part of.

This postseason run was one of the better experiences of my life. All of Saturday morning, I couldn’t believe I was going to game seven of the World Series in Toronto. This wasn’t something I ever thought I would be a part of, and there I was, sitting in the dome with 40K+ fans. I kept asking myself over and over “am I really experiencing this” b/c it felt like a dream & only something I had ever seen on tv. To see so many people showing their love of the Blue Jays/Toronto/Canada … heart warming. ❤️

The Blue Jays gave everything they possibly could … they were clearly the better team … but they didn’t win. I think that’s why so many of us can identify with this team/outcome: how many times in life have you given it your all and fallen short? Probably more times than you can count. I suppose that’s the thing about pursing things in life: there’s no guarantee of the outcome, unless you choose not to take the gamble (then the answer is self-evident).

During this playoff run, I forged better relationships with all my sports-minded peeps, had some amazing chats in the clinic with many patients who were excited about the Jays, and I got to see people embrace sports in a way they never did before. What a fortunate experience to have. Gratitude to experience this with you (you all know who you are).

I still believe this team has all the parts to make a decent run for a few years. I’m hoping to post about a Blue Jays World Series win shortly ... next year would be a great start! 😉

Many thanks to for her hard work in preparing the photos of the sun & moon + total solar eclipse I had taken last year. I really love the total solar eclipse composition, as I had envisioned that photo going on my wall a year before the eclipse occurred. Definitely a moment I will always treasure, and I will always have that reminder on the wall.

I had a great seat watching yesterday’s final day of the Masters. Quite exciting to watch McIlroy win it all & complete the career grand slam. Congrats to him! 👏🏽

I was fortunate enough to go to Augusta this year to watch some practice rounds & take in day 1 of the tournament with a great friend & colleague

Most are unaware of this footnote, but I also completed a golf grand slam of sorts: I have now attended all 4 majors! I’d like to believe I inspired on Thursday with my performance. 😂 I wonder if that means I get a lifetime membership to Augusta?

In case you missed it last night, and I don’t blame you for not being awake at 2:30am

My first time being a sponsor for any type of sports team. Grateful for the opportunity to sponsor the U8 Markham Waxers Team this season. Nice to be able to give back to the community.

Hopefully you are enjoying your long weekend and/or recovering from all the shovelling yesterday! 😅

Part 2: Things you know/don’t know about me +2024 pics

1. I used to be left handed. Somewhere as a kid, my mom switched me over to the right. Right handed doesn’t always come naturally to me (ask anyone watching my golf swing 🤣).

2. I swore I would never play golf. Dumb game. Waste of land, money and time. On a bad day, I may still think that (🤣). I had a friend who convinced me to go to the driving range. After 10 minutes of ARRRGHHHHS and OOOOHHHHHS, I turned to my friend and asked him “Is this what golf is? Uh oh, I think I like this.” Hooked since that moment.

3. If you walked into my high school and looked @ my class graduation photo, you wouldn’t find my picture. Yes, I graduated 🫤. I purposely didn’t take the picture. Other grads appeared to know/had a dream. I had absolutely no idea. I felt embarrassed. I didn’t ever want to look @ that photo (or have anyone else staring @ my photo) feeling like “It all went downhill from there.” So yeah, not in the group photo.

4. I’ve always been an introvert. Yeah, some of you might be going “huh?”. Truth is I often refer to myself as “square peg, round hole”. For my jobs/career, yes, I could play the part of extrovert. Otherwise, I’d be comfortable by myself.

5. I don’t post a lot (I often say it “steals my soul”). It’s about humility. Main reason: my parents always made a point of doing things for people without drawing attention to themselves. My dad had a successful business and became the guy that all piano technicians came to for answers. Yet, dad never bragged about that. Stayed humble. My cousin Noel also comes to mind. Worked so hard to prove himself, and still continues with his current situation today. Always humble. So, outside of doing things to promote the business, I try to stay true to those who showed me how it’s done. If I put the work in, it should speak for itself (so I hopefully don’t have to).

6. I am fascinated with nature & the universe

7. I am grateful everyday that I finally found my career. Maybe I should go and get that high school grad photo done now … 😉

Hello everyone out there!

My name is Darryl and I am an athletic therapist and an osteopathic manual practitioner.

I thought I would take the time to tell my story of how I got here .onosteopathy

So bear with me …

One thing I definitely knew upon graduation from high school was that I had no idea what I wanted to do for a career, and still had the same answer after university graduation. It wasn’t until I entered in 2002 that I decided to pursue Athletic Therapy. It was a great experience, where I learned from great professors ( Joe Rotella, Rob Peters and many others), met many new colleagues and friends (you know who you are; special mention ) and got my introduction into the health profession. More importantly, many of my professors introduced me to osteopathy, which was something I had never heard of before … yet it left me wondering about it post Sheridan.

I couldn’t understand with osteopathy how you could “just use your hands” to “fix” things without the use of machines … how could you “manipulate a liver” to help someone’s shoulder pain (without touching their shoulder) disappear without actually “touching the liver” … seemed like voodoo to me yet it made so much sense to me.

Eventually after working a few years on my own, I came to realize osteopathy was going to be my next step b/c it provided me with the answers I was looking for as a practitioner. I was fortunate enough to have that opportunity when I went back to school in 2012 while getting to work as an assistant AT (big thanks to for making it happen for me). Between Seneca & osteo school, I made a lot of friendships & memorable experiences. By 2019, I made the decision to leave Seneca, the same year I graduated from osteo school.

2020 April I sort of opened .onosteopathy b/c the pandemic was in full effect then. I didn’t open until July of that year, but over the next 1.5 years, had to endure more closures before getting to where I am today.

Part 2 tomorrow!
