Career

Lewis played at the University of Manitoba for the Bisons for five seasons from 1995 to 2001.[1] In the 1995-96 season, he was named the CIAU men's volleyball Rookie of the Year and won the 1996 CIAU championship while being named the Championship MVP.[2][3] He finished his university career much like how he started it, by winning the CIAU national championship as a member of the Bisons in 2001.[1][4]

Lewis played beach volleyball at the 1999 Pan American Games, finishing in seventh place alongside Brian Gatzke.

In season 2013/2014, Lewis played for ZAKSA Kędzierzyn-Koźle.[5] ZAKSA, including Lewis, achieved silver medal of Polish Cup. In January 2015 went to French club Rennes Volley 35.[6]

He ended up his sporting career in April 2017.[7][8]

Individually
gollark: I say this because you said> do you really want a second rate species succeeding?but it isn't a given that because something won at competition it's actually *better*.
gollark: It's the easiest example I could come up with. You could probably look at history or sports too.
gollark: That isn't really a goal. Virioids aren't going around thinking about their goals and how best to satisfy them. They just do things related to that due to the output of blind optimisation processes.
gollark: Things winning is often not determined by actual merit but unrelated factors and random chance. This happens a lot in computing, where a terrible standard comes first or is supported by big companies or something, and nobody can ever get everyone to switch.
gollark: I think it's just the sugar molecules on their own and presumably very concentrated.
