Favourite parkour move: Reverse Vault. Hero: his grandfather. How he got into parkour: “I stumbled across an early YouTube video of what I described as true "superheros." I remember thinking how impossible it would be to move like that. A few weeks later, I mentioned the video to my dad who told me that his best friend's son does this and I should reach out! I joined a class being held in a field that week. It was a very basic thing where we learned to roll on grass, how to jump to and hang on a ledge, and we carried the one mat in and out of the park for the instructors. I was terrible at it, but I loved being terrible at it. I suddenly had an immense purpose to improve my health and wellbeing. Did I want to jump further, be able to pull up faster, and have more control over my movements? I had better get my butt in the gym and eat healthier! That class literally changed my life. I went on to put on 60lbs, became a personal trainer, started a business, and met a community of incredible individuals, including my wife, all from this wonderful sport.”
