My Story
I am 25 years old, born and raised in Canada. I attended the University of Toronto, where I graduated with an Honours Bachelor of Arts & Science degree, double majoring in Political Science and Anthropology.
My journey into the world of fitness began at the age of 17 when I was introduced to the gym and lifting weights. By the time I turned 18, I had committed to a consistent lifting routine. Over the next five years, I gained 50 lbs, transforming my physique from 125 to 175 lbs, with most of the weight gain being muscle.
I obtained my NASM-CPT certification and began my career as a Personal Trainer at Lifetime Fitness, where I had been both working and working out for four years prior. After nearly five years at Lifetime, I decided it was time to pursue my two main personal goals: developing my coaching business and starting my bodybuilding career. This year, not only have I successfully established and launched Saints Mind & Muscle, subsequently, throughout 2024, I completed my first bodybuilding offseason and contest prep and on July 27, 2024, competed in my first natural bodybuilding competition as a classic physique competitor.
Sport and Soccer specifically has also been a significant part of my life since my involvement at the age of 3. My passion for health and fitness grew from being involved in sports and physical activity from a young age and continued throughout my childhood, youth and adulthood. Additionally, I have coached children and youth aged 4-14 in sports-specific movement, speed/agility/quickness, discipline, work ethic, team building, encouragement, and sportsmanship - traits I believe are essential to nurturing and developing youth into strong, hardworking, disciplined young adults.
My ultimate goal in life is to explore and understand the full extent of natural human potential. Humans are fascinating beings, capable of achieving far more than we often hold ourselves accountable for. Every day, I actively challenge myself and my community to stimulate both physical and mental growth through disciplined habits and routines. I believe in the importance of self-accountability and continuous improvement, emphasizing that our only competition should be ourselves and the person we were yesterday.
