Personal Trainer

Played Ice Hockey (among many other sports) since I was very young and started exercising as a way to build strength & endurance to help my performance as an athlete. I got more and more into training over the years and began to appreciate the ability to manipulate my own physique via training and nutrition. I was introduced to Natural BBing after my freshman year in college. I did my first show, got hooked and have been doing it ever since.

I love the challenge. BBing is about about testing the limits of the human body & pushing the threshold. My willingness to endure pain and make sacrifices is my weapon in a battle to defy the limits of my own body. When I step onstage, what I look like is completely dependent upon how hard I worked and how dedicated I was in preparing. It's all up to you and you're the only one who can attain success for yourself.

Everyday is an opportunity that only exists once, after which an advantage is either gained or lost My competitors are out there somewhere training and I will not be outworked or they will beat me
