Growing up I was always the fat kid struggling with weight and eating problems throughout my life. I reached over 300 pounds (130 kg, 28% body fat) by the age of 16, and I was heading towards a very dangerous path. I once ate 34 slices of pizza at an eating contest (winning of course), to be that overweight and able eat that much as a teenager was very risky. If I had stayed on that path I would not expect to live a very long or healthy life.

My body is still covered in stretch marks from just how over weight I was. I always hated them, trying to find out ways to get rid of them. Now, I love them! They are my “tattoo’s”, they are scars that I will have for life constantly reminding me every day of where I have been, what I have done to be where I am today.

Growing up I was teased and made fun of at school, hearing many things such “you have more rolls than a bakery” and “you look like a girl because you have boobs”, and many more hurtful things. I never let them affect me as a person, but it does take a toll on you mentally. I was terrified to ever take my shirt off in public. I would fake being sick whenever we had to go swimming for class, and wouldn’t enjoy going to the beach because I could never take my shirt off like my friends and class mates. I didn’t enjoy a lot of things growing up because of the fact that I was overweight. I knew I was different, and I knew that people looked at me differently.

One day I just had enough, promising myself that I will make a change. I had a dream, a dream that one day I will have one of the most amazing bodies people have ever seen. I saw the people on the cover of fitness magazines and pictured myself looking like that. I wanted a body that looked like it was sculpted out of stone. The body of my dreams! After being so self-conscious of my image all those years, it made me want something that was exceptional, not normal. I never was normal, so why start now I figured. I wanted to change my body, and I was willing to work as hard as I possibly could to make it happen. No one ever believed I could do though. How can a fat kid that can’t stop eating have an impressive body? No one believed I could even lose any weight, yet alone have a sculpted 6 pack. This doubt, this “hate” just made me want it even more. I wasn’t just doing this for myself anymore, I was doing to prove everyone wrong. I had faith in myself, that I could achieve anything I put my mind to. I had a dream, and I wasn’t going to let anyone or anything stand in my way!

I tried every diet and training program imaginable in order to reach my dreams. I starved myself and ran myself into the ground in hopes of reaching my goal. I was working very hard, but not very smart. It wasn’t until years later were I started to eat and trainer smart, as well as hard where I saw great results. I learned so much on my path of achieving the body that I have always dreamed of, I now eat, sleep, breath and live fitness! Now I want to help everyone else that has a similar dream. I want to help everyone reach THEIR dream body, to help, inspire and motivate them to reach their goals. I remember when I first started I was lost and didn’t know where to begin. It took me years to find out the best way to get in the best shape of my life and getting the body that I have always wanted. The once fat kid with a body fat percentage of over 28% is now under 6% and still striving for more. I want to show you how I did it, and help you reach your fitness goals, no matter how big or small they are. Now that I have done the hard yards, I want to use my knowledge and experience in the field to help everyone else. I attained my physique 100% naturally, through hard work and smart eating. My pictures were taken without a crazy diet, no dangerous supplements, no diuretics, no dehydration and no air brushing! This is what I look like on a daily basis now, not just for photo shoot. I wanted to make sure these pictures show you the reality that you can look like this in real life. My intentions are not to make you believe that I look like something I don't on a regular basis, my intentions are to show you how you can really look with the right training and eating. That if you work both hard and smart, you too can see the same results I did and get the body of YOUR dreams!

My dream is to be one of the world’s top fitness models, and be on one of the covers of a magazine. I remember when I was overweight and saying to myself that one day, one day that will be me! This is a personal goal of mine but I’m not doing this just for myself. I’m doing this for anyone who dared to dream. I’m doing this for anyone who one day had a dream of something they wanted, but it seemed almost impossible. A dream that other people thought was crazy and unachievable. I want to do it for everyone that was teased or made fun of for being overweight, and I want to show them that it is possible to change. That it’s possible to do anything you want in life. If you have the will, there is a way. NOTHING is impossible with hard work, perseverance and faith!​
