I was born in Cape Town and spent my early childhood there before moving to KZN at the age of two. I lived in KZN for 16 years before returning to Cape Town during my teenage years.

During my time in KZN, I pursued a growing sports career until I was hit by a truck and suffered fractures in both legs. This accident disrupted my sports career and forced me to focus on rehabilitation. Through this experience, I discovered my passion for fitness and lifestyle training, which led me to study personal training, sports science, and sports nutrition.

My personal journey has been filled with challenges, including the truck accident and a physical attack that required brain surgery. However, my commitment to a healthy and active lifestyle has helped me overcome these obstacles. I rely on this lifestyle for both my physical and mental wellbeing, and without it, I would not have been able to bounce back from injuries and other setbacks.
