Hi and welcome to my official web site! I'm sure many of you have visited my unofficial home page, which is still up and running. For those of you visiting for your first time, let me tell you a little about myself.

As I was growing up I was always active. I had dabbled a bit in gymnastics in public school. I became more serious about my gymnastics career in high school. I had been a provincial level competitor all through high school until my last year when I injured my knee requiring surgery.

My competitive gymnastics career came to an end when I entered into college to become a national level gymnastics coach. In my college days I took up trampoline and became a national level competitor for a short time.

I had started lifting weights after my knee injury for rehabilitation. I also lifted a little when I was in college but most of my conditioning was in the form of gymnastics conditioning by lifting my own body weight.

Once I was in the work force and coaching gymnastics full time, I became involved with windsurfing and sailing. A great past time for sure!

As I was getting a little older, I had very little activity in the winter months and waiting for the summer months so I could resume my water activities, I needed something to keep me in shape. Weight lifting had entered my life again.

I had been in the gymnastics field for more than 15 years and coaching as a professional coach for approximately 12 of those years. I had coached both in Ontario, Canada and Michigan, United States. I had the opportunity to coach in Michigan for 2-1/2 years. During that time I had been introduced to bodybuilding.

I had started competing in bodybuilding in Michigan entering into local and regional shows. My first competition was a very interesting experience because I had never even seen a bodybuilding show let alone compete in one. It was a bit of a rough start but after my first show, I was hooked. I became friends with a fitness competitor, Natalie, who had helped me with my bodybuilding and I had helped her with her gymnastics training.

When I moved back to Ontario, Canada I became familiar to the Canadian system, which was different from the States. I then mapped out my plan and started competing here. The rest is history! Please check out the rest of my pages and read on about what has happened in my life these past couple of years.

Possibly you have see articles about me in the newspapers, on television in Canada and the United States or our local talk show "Six in the City" in October 2002 here in Sarnia.
