we stayed and started our family. Our first daughter
was born there. It started to get lonely for my wife
with only the 3 of us there so we decided to move to
Canada. My wife moved back first with my daughter
and started sponsorship paperwork for me to join
them. I got approved in 2016 and moved to Canada
to be with my wife and daughter. I have been working
hard to make a life for myself and my family here in
Canada. We had our son in July 2017.
It’s been tough for me since I moved to Canada
because of a new language and having to work 7 days
a week. I try to focus on my bodybuilding as well.
The main reason behind my interest in bodybuilding
would be because of my father. Growing up I had
always seen my father loving bodybuilding so much,
but because of less opportunities back home, he
couldn’t fulfill his dream. So my goal was to be
somewhere in this career of bodybuilding to make
him proud up there in heaven. I’m sure he’s watching
me now and has a smile on his face.
I have been in 3 CPA shows now. I love the amazing

are there to support. Providing all the needs for us.

need it. All of this is so important for the final step. So
glad it’s always a step away for us.
Thank you to all CPA shows who make sure
