I was in Aurora, Illinois in 2002; and where I stayed I could not play with anybody; so I decided to go to the YMCA gym and started working out for the first time. Since then, after I left the US; I continued working out at Belgium when I studied at Leuven University. When I was in the Philippines from 2004-2009 I continued working out around Manila at various gyms. I was really motivated to keep fit, healthy and happy by my Filipino friend who was into bodybuilding and also joined some competition in Manila.

I love bodybuilding because I want to remain healthy and fit. I need to remain in shape to burn the unnecessary fats that have accumulated over the years due to partying with friends and eating too much.
