I got into this sport about ten years ago; around the time I finished up my degree at the University of New Brunswick.

I didn't anticipate, at the time, that I would go as far as I did. I was looking for a new challenge in my life and I wanted to try it out.

I really fell in love with doing this and I got serious. I got very good at my diet and all of a sudden my body was developing.

With the support of my friends and family I decided to compete at an NSABBA competition in my home province. I surprised myself by coming in as a runner up. Since that day I've been training even harder.
