Blair began learning about the world through the unique lens of ballet.  At the age of 17, he started his career dancing at the National Ballet of Canada and then rode into the sunset five years later to join the Alberta Ballet. While still performing around the world, meeting amazing people from myriad cultures and countries, Blair acquired his RMT and ART® certifications. With the birth of his second child, Blair knew it was time to hang up the dancing shoes and begin a new career. With a great stroke of luck, a management position opened up and Blair was able to serve as Company Manager and Program Manager with Alberta Ballet. Hosting educational presentations for up to 1,000 students at the Jubilee Auditoria and local schools was one of his favourite chances to be onstage after "the curtain went down" on his dance career.  Blair also served as a union and board representative, coordinated logistics and communications for two CBC film collaborations, participated in and coordinated media interviews, managed multiple US and Canadian tours and was involved in the introduction of Momentum Health to the Ballet.

With Momentum Health, Blair delights in meeting and engaging with Calgarians (in person and online!) who are passionate about health, whether physicians, employers, individuals, or performing arts and sport groups.
