CANADIAN PHYSIQUE ALLIANCE July/August SUMMER ISSUE | Page 57

Where do you live?
Currently live in Hamilton, ON. I
grew up in Caledonia, ON.
Are you a student or do you
work?
I work at Goodlife as a Personal
trainer.
If student what are you
studying?
I studied HVAC in 2015 and I was
just enrolled at Mohawk the past
two years for Health, Wellness &
Fitness.
What got you interested in
competing?
I started working out in my room
right before bed at the age of 13,
a circuit of push ups, sit ups, and
curls. I then got introduced to the
gym scene through a program
called Bodywaves at my high school
that taught me how to workout
using a facility allowing me to
manipulate the muscles I wanted to
grow and increase strength. I later
joined a gym called Profit located
on the 6th line on the native
reservation. There, I met a man
named Henderson Thorne who
introduced me to men’s physique.
He always motivated me saying I
would do really well if I competed
and at the time I had no idea how
to even register, heck I didn’t even
think I was eligible to until he
explained to me that anyone could
do it. From that point on, I trained
for another purpose, not just for
strength but for competitions. My
first competition was going to be
the Fedel Clarke Classic in 2017
and Henderson was going to help
me with my posing. But a month
before the competition, I broke
my left humerus in half, while
snowboarding. This set me back
significantly.
“Stay away from
peanut butter
and Nutella while
on prep and
don’t listen to the
naysayers.”
How many CPA shows have
you competed in?
I have competed in 3 events now;
Fedel Clark Classic- 3rd, Toronto
Championships - 1st overall,
Toronto Pro Super Show - 5th, and
Status Fitness Model Search - 3rd.
Next shows and preps are being
planned and finalized. Watch for it
in the months to come.
What show were you
awarded the Spot Light
Award?
I was awarded the spotlight award
at the Toronto Championships.
How would you like to inspire
others in the fitness industry?
I would like to inspire and motivate
