Being Body Proud is about respecting yourself... Your body is the ultimate machine and it's yours for life! So treat it well. Give it all the fuel it needs to run its most efficient and be its most effective. Improve your strength, flexibility, posture, health and even confidence. Then Inspire Body Proud to your family and friends!

Once you compete in a contest and see how you look in photo's, it becomes an amazing habit :-)

My Body Proud Beliefs:

At this point I have taken part in 18 events and one more to come in June in Montreal. I love the audience as well as the buzz of the whole show. Any other competitor will know what I am talking about.

My Most Proud Moments // My Claim to 'FAME':

My first event was with this organization 6 years ago. I am just more then excited in being able to be willing to go on the stage again. The event is 9 weeks away and I just pray that this nasty disease will allow me to continue this next journey.

My Prime Body Proud Goals:

No I don't

Timeframe &/or Plan to Reach My Body Proud Goals

Live for today and hope for tomorrow

I Am Looking for Advice On:

After receiving the diagnosis of M.S. just over 10 years ago, I have to say that it was brutal and just took the wind out of my sails. So as this disease progresses over the years it has now reached a point where it is all I can do to workout let alone take the stage. So when I get to the stage, the applause that I receive from the audience as well as the positive feedback from the other contestants is what motivates me :-) And for that reason, is the main reason why I keep on competing

Job Description // Shameless Plug for My Products or Services :-)

I have been employed as a trainer just over a year ago at Extreme Fitness and that was quite an accomplishment for myself. Now I am trying to get involved in the financial industry. Right now I am between jobs :-)

My Body Proud Journey Starts Here (Blog Entry #1)

My condo has 11 trophies in it and my cottage and grandparents have a few also. Several articles are in magazines such as Musclemag and Natural Bodybuilding & Fitness. Not to forget about several FAME articles as well :-)

My Philosophy on Nutrition, Physical Fitness &/or Focused Thinking:

Success is more then winning. Success is rising above mistakes, failures, hardships, heart aches, setbacks and pain.

My Dietary &/or Training Routine:

They have the best crowd turnouts, and I just have fun at their events :-)

I am Grateful For:

FAME 2005, there were over 2000 people in the audience that watched me receive my award for that contest. At the time I was the only person on stage so everyone was watching me. That was awesome and from that event, I was interviewed by Clayton South for the website "Bodybuilding.com" Check it out :-)

My Advice to You to Help You Reach Your Body Proud Goals:

I hate saying the phrase "if I can do it you can do it" just look at my story on "bodybuilding.com" and you may find encouragement from that article :-) It is called "overcoming the odds"
