ABOUT ME
I have been involved in some kind of sport or other, for most of my life. And I have loved every second of it. It started at a young age when I competed in Little Athletics for Northern Districts NSW, and was a Zone, Regional and State competitor. I also played junior soccer and made various representative sides. Then as I got older and my physicality improved, I started playing Rugby league and Cricket, in which I also achieved representative status in both.
It was then I had to make a decision on which of my sports I wanted to focus on, I chose Rugby League. At the age of 16 I made the North Sydney Bears RLFC Harold Matthews squad and went on to keep playing with the Bears until I signed with the Eastern Suburbs Roosters in 1990. I played for 2 years until injury cut what looked to be a promising career short in the Australian rugby League comp. I did however, make a comeback to Play Jim Beam cup for Seven Hills.
It was after that I decided to throw myself completely into our fine sport of Body Building. I adapted and grew into this sport rapidly, placing in the top two in my second competition. I’d found my place!
I have has worked in the Fitness Industry in some shape or form since I was 18. I love and thrive on being a part of the fitness industry and truly enjoy coaching competitors (new and veterans) to prepare for their competitions, as I believe, that if you can get yourself through what it takes (with my help and guidance), and get on stage in your best condition, you can achieve anything you set your mind to in life.
I truly get a kick out of seeing people achieve their goals and change their lives in the process, and feel both humbled, and privileged to be able to play a part in that.
This is now my chosen life style and I enjoy the life I lead, and wouldn’t trade it for anything.
