When did you start competitive bodybuilding?
I started as a martial artist, joined a gym to get stronger, then quit martial arts because I liked what weight training did for my body. At this time I weighed 55kg.
About 2 years later I had gained a bit of muscle and a friend of mine said I should try a bodybuilding show. I did IFBB Gauteng Central at 69kg and came 3rd (2002).
What are your sporting highlights / achievements?
2008 IFBB Central Gauteng Provincial Champs overall winner and 2nd at SA's 80kg - 85kg middle weight.
2009 Gauteng Central Provincial Champs light heavyweight winner and 4th at SA Champs.
What or who motivates you?
My friends, family and every one that helps me get into shape for a show, and competing against myself, to better myself year on year.
Who is your biggest sporting influence?
Bruce Lee, his philosophy is great, I apply his thinking to bodybuilding.I look up to bodybuilders that stay humble and remember where they came from.

To win SA's and go to worlds.
