WHEN & WHY STARTED TRAINING: I was heavily involved with football as a teenager with the dream of playing AFL. At the age of 15 I ruptured my Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) during in an U/17's game, the day before my first U/16's

state game. This required a full knee reconstruction. I was 100% focused to complete rehab & persue my dream of playing AFL. After 18 months of unconditional rehab it was time to make my way back on the footy field. During the third quarter of my first game back in 2006 I did the same injury & had to have my second knee reconstruction. I began rehab again, although this time with more weight training rather than body weight. I began to see results from training & caught the bug late in 2006. I bought my first tub of protein- Max's SRT from Carlos Azevedo at Aussie Muscle where I saw the poster for the 2007 INBA state show. I decided I would go a long & watch the show to see what it was all about. After seeing the show I decided that I would compete in 2008.
