He is also a diabetic so this lifestyle for him is a necessity, but as with most people, he loves what he does and wants to lead others to share the fantastic sensation of fitness! Being diabetic as well as a competitive bodybuilder makes him serious about his nutrition and empathetic to people overcoming their own obstacles to obtain their own "perfect" balanced diet and training program.
