Who inspires you in life and why?
Throughout my life there have been many people who inspire me and continue to do so. A guy who first believed in me & put me on the right path, Ivan Simpson inspired me & gave me the strong work ethic & determination to never give up. People like John Hodgson, Kimberely Ann Jones, Karen and Harold Marillier inspire me & I use as role models. I'm inspired by my sister, my wife, my family who will me on to succeed & I feel like I have a duty to give 110%every single day because of their faith & support. My training partners Bodster & my warrior brother Wayne "Spartan" push me through every training session & our gym sessions are like battles.

Door Supervisor
What has been your greatest achievement so far?
Placing 7th in the Battle of Champions out of a strong line up & controversially missing out on an Olympia qualification & achieving my best ever condition.
Do you have any other hobbies or passions?
I love spending time with my fiancé &family & friends & just basically chilling out which we don't get much chance to do because of work & my training etc. I enjoy going for meals & the simple pleasures of life which I guess we take for granted. I'm very passionate about all things to with Gladiators & warriors. Oh & I don't get enough time to watch my Smallville DVD box sets!
Do you think it’s important to look good off season?
Yes & no. I think it all depends on what you're goals are. I think personally if you’re a competitor, especially a pro then your goal is to look good on contest day on the stage, not the beach or impressing Joe Public in the street, that’s irrelevant. However, I also think that being a pro also comes with a duty to be "professional" & carry yourself in the correct manner. Looking like some fat slob offseason isn't going to get you guest spots or impress supplement companies so you should not let your standards drop. You’re a Pro 24/7 & as such responsibilities must be met. However, staying in contest shape year round will do nothing for your gains. Some wise lady once told me- "to get in shape you've got to get out of shape".
