- My BodyPROUD Story
- My life story...condensed! :)
I was never sure of my exact career pathway. I knew I loved acting, entertaining, writing, and speaking to a captivated audience. About what? Where? How? When? These were all unknowns and would only be discovered in stages.
The first stage was through York University where I worked for the Excalibur Newspaper, studied Creative Writing and Philosophy, and developed an appreciation for the publishing industry.
Using the skills and knowledge I acquired from the Excalibur, I lead a team in developing Canada’s First Environmental Magazine, Recover. The motto “Reduce. Reuse. Recycle. And Recover” won the approval of Canadian Literary Hero, Farley Mowat, and my favorite cartoonist, Calvin & Hobbes who both provided content.
The second stage came after I enrolled in the CGA program to study accounting. At the time, I figured that this added knowledge would be an asset for the publishing industry and/or any other career pathway I may chose. During my studies, my father offered me a job in the family business. I remained there for four years, however, my heart just was not in it.
Feeling something was missing, I chose to take time off and reflect. I returned to the gym and a new passion was ignited. I felt there was something special about lifting; about stacking the weights; about becoming more knowledgeable about my body; and about shaping it with intention. As a result, I entered into the next stage of my ‘discovery process’, where I studied personal training, performance nutrition, and massage therapy. At this point, I still did not know the ‘what, where, how, and when’ of my career pathway, although I did know that its base was in fitness.
Then, one fateful day, while doing cardio at the gym, a bodybuilding competition happened to be playing on TV. That’s when it dawned on me that if they could sculpt their physique to seemingly perfection, so could I! “I want to be the biggest name in natural bodybuilding!” were the words that automatically flashed through my head. With out understanding what that meant exactly, why that was, how to accomplish that, or even where to begin, I decided that I was ready to take on the task.
Within two years I was invited to be the Head Judge and main Officiator for the very TV event that ignited my passion. I also competed in three competitions and gained experience as an athlete. However, I soon realized that competing alone was not my passion. Cleaning up the contest stage – and providing opportunities and exposure to natural athletes – was.
The following year I fell in love at first sight with my soon-to-be best friend, business partner, confidant, role model, mentor, teacher and wife , Mindy Blackstien. Together we launched and developed the World Natural Sports Organization, the Drug Free Sports Association, the FAME World Tour, FAME Media Group, FAME Magazine, BodyPROUD and this social networking community.
Along the way, I applied the skills and knowledge that I had acquired through the initial stages of my discovery process. I wore many hats during this time -- business manager, administrator, financial director, sales person, emcee, physique judge, media spokesperson, publisher, visionary, seminar leader, presenter, writer, ambassador and entrepreneur – and was successful, together with Mindy, in creating a movement, positively impacting people’s lives, and introducing natural athletics to individuals – and regions – around the world.
Today, I am is ready to wear one only one hat: that which suits me best and is the best fit. I am most interested in sharing my experiences; being a visionary; I experience products, services and other modalities to share and inspire our community; I enjoy bodyPROUD values; I am excited to help build the Sport of Bodybuilding & Fitness; and inspire people to live happy, healthy and loving lives!
I am currently writing my Body PROUD Journey and am excited to share that with all of you!

Jeff, thank you for the request and the add.
Hi Jeff, hope all is well.
Morning... April will be the fist time competing... I was wondering if you could recommend anybody in Alberta or BC who I could go to, to learn to walk and whatever else I need to learn by April. I live in the NWT and do not have access to Pro Fit Trainers or persons in the pro fit profession. Thanks sooo much!!!
Thanks Jeff! :) Thank you for featuring me and my story. I hope I can reach people, and give them strength in the dark times. I will get online and update my blog with my progress, my successes ad my failures!!! Life is a journey and we all have to fight to move forward, but we can all do it.
:) <3
