The rewarding feeling I get from every work out and the adrenalin rush! I have learned skills from the legendaries and at my age have tested them to see what works for me. Nutrition is vital and protein is gold! I also find that pain makes serious gains! After my dad’s death battling cancer in 1999, Muscle & Fitness magazine was a form of therapy that allowed me to stay focussed and to lead a healthy lifestyle. I want to stay healthy so that I can also be here for my kids.

Free weights in my garage and basement. I also go for walks and have fun with my kids on the trampoline. In tandem, I aim for 1000 jumping jacks a day, heavy lifting every second day. Long forest walks, swimming and enjoying the outdoors. Your magazine was always in my backpack and much of what I know is from the insights I picked up reading it! Now I watch your influencers and subscribe to your digital community of great influencers! It would be an honour to join this wonderful community!

Work with your social media presence and support Muscle & Fitness magazine by doing professional videos. An incredible honour it would be to be an ambassador of your brand. Grew up before the days of the internet and used to buy your magazine. Raise awareness for healthy lifestyles especially for people like myself who are over 40. Balance is key, and as a Project Management consultant, waking up 5 am to work out gives me the energy I need to push forward in my businesses. Give to charity.
