When I came back I decided I really wanted to compete. I began in December 1997 dieting for the Alberta Northern Bodybuilding Championship in Edmonton where I placed 4th in the Men's Middleweight Class. A week later, in Calgary I placed 3rd in the Junior Class at the Alberta Bodybuilding Championships. This qualified me to compete in the Canadian Nationals in September 1998 were I placed 2nd.
After a year of hard work I held my place in the Junior Class at the Canadian Nationals, September 25, 1999. I was 18.5lbs heavier than last year.
With one more year of training and hard work I became the Canadian Junior Men's Champion for the year 2000 - 1st place was mine!

On June 23, 2001, I got into a dirt bike accident where I broke my neck, back, right shoulder, left wrist, 2 ribs, lacerated my liver and bruised my lungs and kidneys. After 4 months in a bodycast I was more determined that ever to compete again...
and on June 21, 2003 I placed 2nd in the Men's Light-Heavy Weight class in the Alberta Provincial's. I weighed in at 187.5lbs.
I love bodybuilding because of the focus, determination, hard work and commitment that I learn. These strengths teach me to overcome obstacles and challenges and gives me bigger dreams for the future. I see bodybuilding becoming more and more popular and that is exciting.
