What do you do?
I’m actually an aeronautical engineer by trade. You’ve guessed it, I compete in strongman at a decent level and I also coach others in strongman and powerlifting.
Why strongman
Easy question! It’s just fun. I enjoy the challenge of different disciplines and shifting weight.
Your wife Kim, tell us more
We are a dam powerful couple, we’ve been together over 12 years now and have 3 beautiful children.
Kim WILL win the brits this year, no doubt. Her passion, dedication and commitment to winning is unparalleled. She keeps me going!
This year I have my sights firmly set on beating the deadlift and log press world record. I aim to smash a 505kg deadlift and a 230kg+ log press.

How confident are you at beating the world record deadlift and log press
I know I have the ability that’s no question. All I need is a solid run with no injuries and I will achieve those world records. Confidence is good, LETS GO!
Can you win worlds strongest man?
Never say never. I do feel my height plays a big disadvantage in that contest though.
Atlas stones, the most famous of strongman events.
Why combat fuel?
Easy. Because Alex the owner is awesome, does a lot for charity and the brand is one giant family. I like the products, they work and believe in them. I wouldn’t use them if I didn’t.

Favourite products and why?
Cant deny I’m completely obsessed with the clear whey. Real game changer, as a strongman getting the food in is tough. The last thing I want is more heavy shakes sitting on my stomach, the clear whey works brilliantly for me. All the other essentials are wicked too. the EAA+ and Cyclic Dextrin during workouts and everybody needs creatine.
