I was born in Saskatoon, SK, Canada, and I'm the 3rd oldest of 5 kids all boys. I was very athletic as a young kid, and was in involved in various sports from taekwondo, soccer, baseball, and football. I broke my ankle during football practice in high school while I was in the 10th grade. After my ankle healed I had to get into the gym to build up my physique, my body responded so well to the weight I was hooked after that.
In 2005 I competed in my 1st bodybuilding show at the Musclemania Canadian Championships in Toronto, Canada. I placed 2nd in the middle weight class, then went on to compete in the Musclemania Hollywood World Championships, where I placed 7th. I then went on to compete again in the 2006 Musclemania Canadian Championships, where I placed 3rd in the middle weight class. I moved on from Musclemania shows and competed in the 2007 SABBA Novice Championships where I placed 2nd in the middle weight class. Then went on to compete in the 2008 SABBA Provincial Bodybuilding Championships, where I placed 2nd place again in the middle weight class! Finally in 2009 I competed again the SABBA Provincial Bodybuilding Championships, where I placed 1st in the light middle weight class. I begin my contest prep for the 2010 Canadian Nationals where I plan to compete in the light middle weight class in front of a home town crowd here in Saskatoon.
Outside of bodybuilding, I am the owner of a property development company that I started back in 2006 called Above & Beyond Realty Services. We do projects such as flips on residential properties, and condo conversion on apartment blocks. I am also the Founder & CEO of www.physiquebook.com. It's a social network similar to Facebook, that's dedicated to bodybuilding, sports, and fitness athletes.
