He was born in Cambridge, Ontario.

In 1994 he was a member of the Canadian relay team which finished fourth in the 5000 metre relay competition. In the 1000 m event he finished sixth and in the 500 m contest he finished eleventh. In the 1000 m contest Campbell was obstructed by the Briton Nicky Gooch, who was disqualified. Campbell got up and thought he finished the race, and was celebrating his bronze medal with a Canadian Broadcasting Corporation reporter live on television when he discovered he hadn't completed the race. He had miscounted and left the track one lap short of the finish line, and was classified as a non-finisher. This meant that Marc Gagnon was a surprise bronze medallist, even though he wasn't even in the A final. Gagnon was first place in the B final so he received the bronze medal.

Four years later he won the gold medal with the Canadian team in the 5000 metre relay competition.

He was also training Francois Hamelin.
