Biography |
As
far back as grade seven, I have
always been heavily involved in
sports. I was involved in Football,
Cross Country, Wrestling, Boxing
and Track and Field. Once in high
school, I continued to dominate
in foot ball. I played both ways,
as a running back on offense and
line backer on defense. I also
played Rugby in High School were
my team remained undefeated for
three years while I was playing.
Upon completion
of High school, I attended St.
Mary’s University were I
played football and obtained my
Bachelors of Sociology and Criminology.
I am very competitive.
I strive to improve myself. In
my world there is no such thing
as “can’ t”,
there is only “Why haven’t
I?”
All these various
sport endeavors had built a solid
muscular foundation. At the age
of fourteen, I walked by a dungeon
like brick building were the grunting
and bellowing of voices drew my
attention. I popped my little
head in the door and to my amazement
there was a man shorter than me,
5’2”, with enough
muscle and veins to make your
jaw drop. The man would later
become my mentor and friend Norm
Wickens. He invited me in to the
sweat box and told me I could
stay and watch him and his partner
Felix train if I promise to be
quiet (that’s a paradox
considering the noise these two
beasts were making). I watched
intently and knew that was a calling.
Norm asked me
how old I was and I remember it
like yesterday and I responded
14. He shook his head in amazement
and could not believe I had not
worked out before. That is when
he told me I could be a Canadian
bodybuilder champion one day. |

Competitive
Background |
At
the age of sixteen, I competed
my first bodybuilding contest
were I missed out of the top three.
I was the youngest competitor
in the Junior category which was
under 20. I didn’t compete
again until 1990 when I won the
Junior Heavyweight Provincials.
I found myself standing on stage
a month later at the Junior Nationals
in Edmonton were I placed second
overall in an open Junior class.
Since 1990 to
present, I have competed in at
least one show a year at the National
level in an attempt to qualify
for a pro card.
In 2001, I competed
in Police and Fire Games where
I won 2 first place gold medals.
Again in 2005, I duplicated that
feat.
My involvement
in bodybuilding combined with
my job as a police officer has
given me a balance in my life.
This I find makes pre-contest
training easier as I am focused
on my job I am focused and regimented
on my job there is no time to
allow for cravings Each half serves
as an outlet for each other. Having
another focal point allows me
to relieve the stressor of one
over the other. Both have contributed
to make me the more complete and
over all individual that I am
today. |

MVP
Involvement |
In
1999, I became MVP’s first
sponsored athlete and have been
with them since. In my seven years
with MVP, I can truly say; I use
their products, I believe in their
ideologies, I support their advancements
and most of all I am proud to
be a member of the MVP team. Unlike
other companies, this has a family
oriented caring environment. The
entire team members, along with
the MVP staff, have a very good
rapport with each other.
MVP team/ MVP
staff have always provided me
tremendous amounts of support
i.e., supplements, track suits,
and moral support, over the years
and friendships have developed
which will be everlasting.
With MVP, I had
the opportunity represent them
in events they had set up at health
and fitness venues and charitable
events. |

SIGNIFICANT
EVENTS  |
January
20 2006, a day I will never forget.
You ask why? Well on that day
as usually I enter the gym and
commenced my grueling quad workout.
Half hour later I was on my last
set of my last exercise which
was the leg press. I had already
done two previous sets with the
same weight which was a bit over
1600 Lbs for 25reps. Half way
through my last set I heard a
loud SNAP!, which was my right
quad tore which also led to the
tear of my right ligament. It
wasn’t over yet. Due to
the amount of weight my left leg
now had to hold by itself, you
guessed it. My left quad and ligament
also tore. I was transported to
the hospital where double surgery
was performed by Knee orthopedic
specialist Dr. Martin. With extensive
physiotherapy and now more than
ever the MVP products I totally
relied on. I was not only able
to make a full recovery but actually
compete in the 2007 World Police
and Fire Games 13 months after
the injury in March and won. The
bottom line you got to thank God
and appreciate all the things
you have been blessed with in
life. You got to believe in yourself
(when everyone around said I would
not recovery from that injury)
and most importantly thank MVP
nutrition for their support since
1999 and throughout that time. |
