What fuels your passion for health and fitness?

My journey started because I didn't feel comfortable in my own skin. This still motivates me, but seeing the positive difference it has made in my own life and seeing how my transformatiom has inspired the people around me from home, to work and at the gym is a huge motivator. I have had many people tell me they are not giving up because of what I have achieved and where I started; this makes me so happy. Enjoying working out and my wife telling me how proud she is of me is the cherry on top.

What’s your favorite way to train or stay fit?

I really enjoy going to the gym first thing in the morning and lifting weights before work, and on the weekends with my wife and daughter. I also love playing basketball or soccer with my daughter. She is 15 so she keeps me moving and its always a great workout. She is at the age where she can beat me so I have to put in the work.

What would you do with $20,000?

My daughter won the Canadian National Kickboxing championship last year. She fought in Vegas last year to win the IKF Kickboxing Championship. She's competed for over 9 years and loves the sport. I would use the winnings to fly her to Thailand and Holland to train with the amazing gyms there. I would also register her to compete internationally which has always been a dream of hers.
