As a vegan body-builder I want to show others that it is possible to gain significant muscle and strength on a vegan diet and I want to inspire others to follow this lifestyle. I love being vegan and knowing that I am having a positive impact on our society.

Be open to other people's opinions, ideas, and try new things. One of the best ways to learn is to feed off other people's experiences.

The words: never, can't, quit, and fail, are not in my vocabulary.

Keep records of your fitness progress throughout your training. Chart all of the food you eat, the exercises you complete, and even the amount of sleep you get each night. Refer back to your records to see where things went right or went wrong.

Pay close attention to detail in whatever it is you are doing. Be specific and expect quality from your performance.

The people who are scared of going on a diet are the people who could benefit the most from one.

Celebrate each accomplishment on your way to reaching your goal. Each challenge conquered whether large or small is a positive step to greatness.
