Coach Calder has been with Calder Casino for nearly a decade, having been named the 1st coach in Calder history in 2010. Mainly known for working behind the scenes, in 2019 he agreed to be featured in Calder Casino’s new TV commercials, thus allowing the general public to become more aware of his greatness.
A 20-year veteran of professionally helping others achieve phenomenal success, Coach Calder joined the Calder team after a 3-year-stint in Wisconsin, where he consistently brought out the best in numerous cheese-loving people.

Growing up, his childhood heroes included Winston Churchill, Socrates, Vince Lombardi and the inventor of the glazed doughnut.
Coach Calder is known for bringing positivity, passion, and a megaphone with him wherever he goes. In his downtime he enjoys yelling at the TV, reading Cosmo and hot yoga.
