My experience
I took up Karate aged 15 and was awarded my black belt by Master Mistusuke Harada, Europe's most senior Karate Master. I then became a National Karate instructor and progressed to the rank of 4th Dan. I have also practised Aikido for several years.
Having followed the growing sport of Strongman on TV for many years, I decided to give it a go and in 2002 was the highest placed Novice in my first amateur competition. I was instantly hooked and have since entered over 20 competitions, including Scotland’s strongest man in 2006.
My other feats of strength include the lifting of the world famous 'Dinnie stones' and 'Clach cuid fir' or testing stones. I have also lifted The Menzies Stone and The Inverstone. I am an accomplished downhill skier and keen snowboarder and over the last 20 years I have skied throughout much of Europe.
My passions
I have always led an active and healthy lifestyle and it remains very much a passion rather than an obsession.
I practise what I preach, and I find it continually rewarding to coach others to transform their life through health, fitness and an understanding of nutrition and diet.
In the past 24 years, I have helped hundreds of people to regain their health, happiness, and physique through a tried and tested programme of progressive training and following a nutritional diet.
I look forward to doing the same for you.
