I was always skinny as a kid. I first started going to the gym in 1999 and then continued off and on until I got slightly more serious in early 2006. Unfortunately, I didn't have a good grasp on nutrition so I didn't really get anywhere. I got a wakeup call when I realized that I was turning 30 and felt that I didn't have much time left to be in the best shape of my life. So I sorted out my training and nutrition and although I've made good progress, I still have a long way to go.

It's given me a purpose in life. I'm addicted to the ups and downs that come with it. But the best part is that the hard work you put in pays off. It's all you and no one else!
