I've always been active in sport since I can remember. I enjoy it because of the reward which you can see and that you get for your hard work, discipline and determination. I like to train and push myself to higher limits and the satisfaction that goes with that.

when I won the overalls in 2009 and when my pro card were approved. This is when you realize that your years of hard work has finally paid off.

Flex Wheeler. He has the most pleasing physique that consist of balance, symmetry and muscle size. I've read his book Flexability and I found it to be very inspirational and motivational.

First of all my creator – God. He blessed me with discipline and determination and that helped me create a competitive physique.
Secondly my wife Ilse…she started my bodybuilding career with me and stood with me through all my moods, my winnings and my losses. Thirdly my best friend James Moorcroft whom I actually met onstage in 2000, for supporting me and encouraging me for the past 10 years and ………tanning me up backstage. Then the wip behind me my training partner Herman du Plessis. I've had many training partners in my career but he knows me and he pushes me. Lastly my mentor Peet van der Westhuisen for keeping me on the right tracks.
