MY STORY

So I want to start by taking you through my journey. These images give a snap­shot of my story and my tribulations.

It all started when I was younger. At the age of 12, I was morbidly obese, weighing in at over 110kg, with a size 42-inch waist. High school was a rough time for me. Between the bullying and my undiagnosed ADHD, I suffered from severe depression. There were many days where I just wished it would all end.

Fast forward to when I was 15-16, and I started to lift weights, and that's when everything started to change for me. Between watching what I ate and training, I began to drop fat and build muscle. As my body changed, my confidence and self-worth began to improve. I started to come out of my shell, and with that, I was able to make more friends and even talk to girls. My ADHD also got better, although I wasn't aware of it at the time so much. I just knew life was good.

Fast forward a little more; I was a qualified personal trainer who was let loose on the world. The problem was I didn't know enough. I needed to learn more. What I was taught barely scratched the surface, and because I was going it alone, I had to learn through trial and error. Oh boy, there ever a LOT of errors. After several injuries and getting sick from constantly driving my body into the ground, I was left smaller, weaker and fatter with my confidence once again shot.

This led me to get help. I hired a coach and started to learn how to get results without constantly breaking myself. Then one thing led to another, and I started doing more and more education, completing a bachelor's degree in exercise sports science, doing seminars, courses and mentorships with some of the best coaches in the world.

Now I have the opportunity to share all the things I've learned over the years to help other Men developer a greater sense of self, creating a shift in their mental and physical health by helping them build psychological and physical resilence. With the greater goal of helping those men reach their true potential so they can posit why they impact their friends, family and community.
