My Background has been a relatively active one. I started Taekwondo when I was 5 (Reaching 3rd Dan Black Belt ), competed on a national level for sparring, Co-Founded and instructed at my own Taekwondo Club at Saint Kentigern College for 5 years+. 

Later I moved into Muay Thai and Brazilian JiuJitsu. In between the martial arts, there was youth track, basketball, calisthenics, going to the gym, swimming, and yoga.

Movement wasn’t just something I did, it was how I understood myself.

However, between the ages of 18 and 24, I ruptured both Achilles tendons (on separate occasions), suffered a spiral ankle fracture, underwent toe tendon surgery, and broke my thumb. Most of them were sport-related. 

Each significant injury forced a full reset and reflection period. I came to ask the same question: how do I put myself back together properly, progress sustainably, without losing the ability to train hard long-term?

The accumulation of these experiences became influential in the way I train now and the foundation of how I coach. Train hard, but train with structure, foresight, and respect for the body you want to keep using for decades. 

Outside the gym, I also work as a Senior Account Manager in digital marketing so I know what it’s like to not have enought time to workout, be in a sedentary role and how that can impact training.
