Height: 5’11" Weight: 190-195 lbs
I am a physique athlete and aspiring fitness model, I am originally from Barrie, ON but reside in St. Catharines, 15 minutes from Niagara Falls. I go to Brock University as an undergrad in Physical Education and kinesiology and work as a personal trainer and sales staff with Anytime Fitness in St. Catharines. I spend most of my free time finding ways to improve my physique, training, and nutrition and love outdoor recreation. My strengths are my determination, persistence, and patience. When I set a goal I know I will see it through no matter what, and do everything I can to achieve what I set out to accomplish. My goal is to have my best well rounded natural physique possible and be able to retain strength while staying aesthetic. I want to teach what I practice to help others achieve their fitness goals and I want to promote healthy eating and how ‘dieting’ can be made a healthy way of life
Education/Certifications: Currently completing a BPhed at Brock University, Canfitpro Personal Training Specialist

A good preworkout goes a long way for me. Especially during contest prep! IGNITION xT has a good mix of natural and CNS stimulants as well as ingredients that boost your metabolism and induce fat burning. I like to break the capsule and just mix it in with my aminos before I work out.
