Cousins Jodi Barnes and Rob Williams have been wowing figure skating fans since they first began slicing the ice together as pairs skaters in 1979 with the Maple Ridge Figure Skating Club under the direction of coach Christine McBeth. Rob attended Websters Corners and Blue Mountain before moving on to Garabaldi. Jodi attended Pitt Meadows Elementary and Pitt Meadows High School. The two competed for nine years at the national level, winning bronze in the national juniors in 1987 and representing Canada at the world junior championships.
In their last amateur year in 1993, they joined with another pairs team to win gold in the Canadian fours. Now, the pair are delighting audiences around the world as professional skaters with Walt Disney's World on Ice. They have toured with Disney to Europe, South America, Mexico and throughout the United States. In 1999 the pair toured Japan and Asia, New Zealand and Australia as the principal pairs skaters in Disney's Toy Story on Ice.
