Family is everything, spending time with my wife and kids is my number 1 priority, as a family we keep as active as we can, whether it’s a bike ride, walk or heading to the beach. I love a Craft beer( balance remember), watching footy and early nights.

WHY DO YOU LOVE THE FITNESS INDUSTRY?
I love being able to go to work and being inspired by either my clients or my fellow Rhino trainers. Every day is different and all clients are different but they all have similar goals which are chosen to better their lives and I truly love being able to help and support them to try and tick them off.

Outside of work I really enjoying staying active weather that is surfing, playing other sports or going to the farm to chase around some sheep and do some farm work. I also really enjoy training and competing in Crosfit.
If I’m not training or playing sport I love to spend time with Family and friends.

I’m drawn to the fitness industry because of the incredible sense of community and support it offers. Growing up, I’ve always thrived in team sports environments, and being part of an industry where everyone is constantly pushing to improve is super inspiring. Getting to see people smash their goals is also really cool, I love being a part of that journey.
