Growing up, I was not in shape or very athletic. A fact that became all the more apparent with continued ridicule from peers, school mates, even family members throughout my young adolescent life. Then one day I decided to do something about it, I went to Walmart, bought my first pair of dumbbells and started working out at home. Along comes highschool, I get introduced to the weight room, and something clicks: the rush of working out, the feeling of accomplishment after completing a successful training regiment - I had found my passion in life. After highscool, I had reached the limit of what I found I could do for myself. I needed guidence, mentoring, and tutoring: I needed a trainer. I was referred to Craig & Julie of ContestPrep.ca and, after meeting those two amazing people, I watched my progress transcend to levels I had never even imagined were possible. Competition became a place for me to showcase the fruits of my labor, my personality, my love for this lifestyle, and a place for me to attain a sense of accomplishment for all that I have done. Special Thanks: Thank you to all of my friends who looked upon me with skepticism at first when I told them I was going to be competing in bodybuilding, but supported and cheered for me unconditionally regardless. To my brother & sister, for putting up with my mood swings, pro-tanning, and constant hogging of the mirrors for posing practice. And of course, my trainers, colleagues and friends: Craig & Julie Bonnett. Words seem so hollow to express the true gratitude I have for the both of you. Craig, for helping me realize that I have been living the bodybuilding life all this time but never knew it, and convincing me to compete. Julie, for always being there for a kind word, friendly reassurance, and being the true brains behind the operation. Without you both, I would definitely not be where I am, or who I am today. Thank you both!!
