While he was on his journey he discovered this amazing sport called “Obstacle Racing” and started with the world famous “Tough Guy” from that moment he caught the bug, started to lose more weight trained for OCR and hit “The Nuts Challenge” Race and only made the 7k (one round) – this pushed him further and started hitting around 30 races a year and bagged the X 25 Tough Mudder , the ever growing and Famous Nuclear races, Savage race, BattleFrog and Ran the first Spartan Race in the UK

While all this was happening, he decided to add to his career plan and not just race but became a trainer to teach people to live a better lifestyle and to this day he still stands by this ethos.
