My background in sports comes from hockey. I played in the U.S. College hockey ranks, before a knee injury forced me into an early retirement. I needed a new competitive outlet, which led me to men’s physique. Eventually my knee healed enough to be able to train my legs at the level needed to compete in bodybuilding, which has now allowed me to make the switch to this division. I am proudly sponsored by Cygen Labs, a Canadian sports nutrition brand.
