People tell me I'm a perfectionist. They tell me I'm too extreme and that I work too hard. I tell them, that is all I know how to do. I was taught to give my best effort in everything I do and demand perfection and raise the standard of excellence to a whole new level.

I challenge myself everyday to be the most positive and enthusiastic person I know.

Surround yourself with positive, energetic, successful people and learn from them.

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

When backed up against a wall, dig deep, demand excellence, stand tall, and be strong.

When I workout early in the morning, the rest of the day feels so much better.

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.
