Meet the team

My name is Julian Johnson and I am a full-time personal trainer and aspiring co-founder to the Future Builders Foundation. I am passionate about helping others and guiding them along their journey to become the best version of themselves. I found purpose in life through its ups and downs, and a little guidance from some incredible people. I would love to be one of those people for someone else, and help them find their purpose through this program.

My name is Marlon McCollin. I have been an educational assistant since 1996 at Brampton Centennial Secondary School. I've been working within the whole school culture dealing with everything from special needs and various mental health issues, as well as varying academic principles. I've also been there in the capacity of a coach of a variety of sports for both boys and girls i.e. Basketball, soccer track and field and field.

My name is Martin Reid and I am a Movement Specialist, Podcast Host and Entrepreneur with over 20 years experience in big-box and boutique businesses as an educator, and international presenter. Along with my qualifications as a Pilates Coach, and Sport Conditioning Specialist, I also has a Master’s Degree in Counselling. I am an advocate for community well-being and the positive impact Pilates can have on men’s health.

Due to my direct community impact, I was selected to be one of 12 members of Mayor Crombie’s Black Caucus to advise on what the City of Mississauga could do to diminish systemic barriers to promote greater well-being within Black communities and throughout the city as a whole.

My name is John Ayton.  I am a local entrepreneur currently running two businesses, UP6 Consulting and Pure Life Science.

I coached hockey for 27 years and soccer for 7 years. That experience provided me with an understanding of today’s teens. I have a strong desire to help under-financed youth achieve success by offering true opportunity, guidance and support in the trades.
