I am Lifelong Student of Fitness, Health, & Building Muscle!

I am committed to my mission of helping and sharing everything I know to enlighten others and make their lives better.

My obsession with Muscles started at an early age. I had some major influences growing up that must have planted a seed deep inside of me.

Those influences were Bruce Lee, Arnold (Conan), and Batman. Those were the big three that really influenced me in my teens.

I still remember my first workout like it was yesterday. My older brother was big into weights, I wasn’t, I was a skateboarder (picture me with shaved head, bangs, and converse cons, hard to imagine hey).

Not really sure why but I ventured into my brothers room (2 brothers shared the bedroom, we grew up in a small downstairs of a house). I grew up very modestly but I had the best parents anyone could ever ask for.

I ventured into my brothers room with the weights and I started messing with some big old york concrete dumbells. I didn’t know what I was doing, but I sure liked it. Something clicked.

A few years later I was big into lifting weights, studying Martial Arts (earned a black belt in Tae Kwon Do) and I really started my education on Fitness.

I started reading what was available at the time, every Muscle Magazine I could get my hands on.

Not long after I started working at the YMCA across the street and got a job on the desk. From there I did their course and soon was a “Trainer” at the YMCA.

I was slready the go to guy in the gum, I Loved Fitness & Helping people. Something else in my life just clicked.

Soon after I started university and I was never a good student. I barely passed high school and after failing out of University 3 times I realzed school at that time was not for me, it was a hard lesson to accept, in hindsight it was the best lesson.

I had started selling Supplements while working at the Y to my friends and slowly started a following of people who trusted me. I loved it.

One of the biggest reasons I didn’t do well in school was lack of focus. I was too busy hanging late nights with. close friends in a coffee shop.

From there with a close friend of mine over a napkin, a note pad and too much cheap coffee Heavyweights was created.

Heavyweights started with my bedroom in my parents house with a shelf full of Supplements worth about $200.

From there I kept working 2 jobs and selling Supplements to my network.

But I wasn’t happy.  I moved to Vancouver but realized it wasn’t for me. I came home, worked hard for a few months in a book store and selling supplements and writing workout programs and decided to take the step and open a store.

I  knew NOTHING about business, nothing.

It was a VERY scary thing to do with no loans, no credit, no guidance, but I had to do it.

My first store was subleased from a computer store. My brother knew the owner. I had 200 square feet and never even had my own bathroom.

My Business education was a very big wake up call. It was not easy, it was straight up some of the best times of my life but also the mist stressful.

I kept helping people snd along the way kept learning snd training. Competing in 3 BodyBuilding competitions and a power lifting as well getting my Black Belt.

A few years later i opened a small gym and from there things progressed (painfully), and grew into Heavyweights Training Center.

As I write this now I am very grateful to have found my calling. My love for Fitness & my Passion for being an entrapenuer. I would’t trade it for anything.

Right now in my life my goal is to teansform as many lives as I can with my Store, my Gym, my Blog & programs.

I am on a mission.

That mission involves learning from the best of the best and investing in my education. I travel often, I learn everything I can, everyday.

Tbe best investment is investing in yourself.

So with  my Blog I promise to bring you The  Best information to enlighten people like us who share a Passion for Fitness, Health & Life!
