I
began bodybuilding in 1991. I didn't enter into the competitive stream until the
Spring of 2002.
I trained under Scott Abel and entered my first
show, winning both the Heavyweight and Overall titles. I then entered my second
show, a level 2 show, and once again won the Heavyweight and Overall titles.
A
few short weeks later, I entered the Provincial Championships and was the 1st
runner-up, qualifying me for the National level of competition.

I chose to rest up and improve for
one year, and in 2003, I entered my first Nationals, under the guidance of Laura
Binetti, placing a very respectable 3rd among the finest amateurs in the country.
Since
2003, I have entered and consistently placed in the top 5 each year at Nationals.
I look forward to 2006, as I am now training with Greg and Autumn
Raby. Autumn recently became our newest IFBB pro at the 2005 Canadian Championships
held in Montreal this past september. I am trained by TEAM AUTUMN and we hope
to bring my conditioning up to the level that will make ME the one to beat in
2006.
