Born in 1978, my journey of transformation, resilience, and self-discovery began as a self-conscious teenager. At 14, I stood 195cm (6’5″) and weighed just 69kg. In 1992, unaware of the need for training, I naively turned to a “weight gainer.”

In 1996, at 18, my life changed when I joined a gym. Over the next five years, I dedicated myself to fitness, increasing my weight to 90kg while staying lean. I immersed myself in the science of nutrition, training, and supplements, which not only transformed my body but also instilled confidence, discipline, and perseverance.

After graduating in London in 2001, I turned my passion into a business by launching “BioScience,” a supplement company. Though I sold it two years later, the experience ignited my entrepreneurial spirit.

In 2007, after a four-year break, I returned to training with significant strength gains. However, prioritizing size led to excess body fat and health issues like high cholesterol and blood pressure. This taught me the importance of balance and focusing on overall health over mere weight gain.

Between 2012 and 2015, life shifted with family responsibilities, an autoimmune diagnosis, and eventually a divorce in 2021. My fitness took a backseat, and I hovered at 115-120kg, losing muscle and confidence. Approaching 44, I committed to a transformation.

In three years, I dropped from 118kg to 95kg at 8% body fat through a balanced regimen of 60% cardio and 40% weightlifting. Today, I maintain 110kg at 10-12% body fat, prioritizing clean eating, balance, and consistency.

Many quit fitness due to slow results or lack of time, but it doesn’t require extremes. Home workouts, balanced diets, and meal prep can simplify the process. Fast approaching 47, I’m in the best shape of my life—focused, energized, and healthier than ever. Age is no excuse.
