Having competed in four shows this past year, Dion is planning to compete at the Atlantic Classic event in Moncton, NB on April 6th, 2019. He’s an elite athlete, with many 1st Place ranking. He won the Men’s Classic Physique title at the 2018 NB Open Championships and the Overall Bodybuilding and Men’s Classic Physique title at the 2018 Saint John Fall Classic. Peterson quotes; “Bodybuilding has saved my life; the sport has turned my life around and there’s no way I’m ever going back to the lifestyle I once lived.” “To all those people out there who hit rock bottom and want to give up; every second is a chance to turn your life around, embrace it and never underestimate yourself, if I can do it, anyone can.”
