But something changed between the left and the right side (and don’t worry there will be gear comments, I already know). But the bigger shift between the left and the right photos wasn’t just 75 lbs, 13 years, 3000+ workouts, adding gear, competing, and becoming the world’s largest vegan bodybuilder. The biggest difference between the left and the right photo is that I became an activist. See, for most of my vegan journey, even though I started very young at 13 years old, I kept my thoughts to myself. I thought “if I’m a nice guy and I don’t upset people, maybe people will like me, maybe people will learn to care for me and then care about the animals if I tell them the truth.” I didn’t realize that by hiding who I was truly in my core, I was pushing away all those that truly felt the same as me, and I spent the majority of my career as a vegan bodybuilder alone. But not anymore. I proudly wear vegan clothing and vegan tattoos daily. I speak up for those who are silenced. I fight with all I have to help free victims from cages. And. I want to empower you to do the same. Build your body. Create your confidence. Share with others what you really feel in your heart. The result might just break your idea of what is capable in this lifetime. If you’re like me, you love fitness, you hate seeing others in pain and suffering, then speak up. Find a way to show the light to others.
