I’m a third generation Italian-Dutch, with German blood, born and raised in The Netherlands.

In my early age I never foresaw a career in modeling nor fitness, but I have been an athlete since a young age.

 

In high school I participated in all kinds of sports such as volleyball, kickboxing, running track, basketball and soccer in which I became a player of high value as a striker. 

After I graduated I started playing soccer for a good division and only two years later we became Champions in our league.

Meanwhile I began my journey with fitness by attending the gym more than six times a week, combining this with other activities.

When I started I knew very little about fitness industry and lifting weights. I had neither fitness plans nor a healthy diet but after my graduation I was spending all my free time in the gym, reading books about weightlifting and doing research about nutrition.

 

Beside these two passions I started picking up kickboxing and within few months of training I took part on my first official fight. 

 

Few weeks later a photographer scouted me for a photoshoot that with my surprise turned out well. I was very new to this world but the photographer suggested me to think about working seriously in this field. 

Soon after the idea of pursuing this career path begun to catch on and later on I gave up soccer and kickboxing in order to focus more and more on my modeling career. After a couple of local shoots for brands and commercials I left The Netherlands to move to Ibiza, where I worked as a model and personal trainer/coach. 

A few months later I landed in the USA for a short period of time and there I signed with an agency in Miami. After I signed an official contract with Elite Miami I moved there and eventually I signed with Next Model Management which is my current mother agency.

 

During my fitness journey I applied what I learned first to myself and the results were the proof that my hard work was paying off; I was getting bigger and leaner at the same time because I found out the perfect balance to achieve both; I then started creating my own nutrition plan and workout regime in order to help other people.

 

By the age of nineteen I knew my mission was to help others achieve their goals and give them a healthy lifestyle. 

At my local gym I began to give advice to friends and acquaintances that were motivated by my own results. 

Encouraged by the feedback I got inspired to help people share my knowledge about fitness and nutrition and improve their lifestyle. 

This gave me the answer of where my passion lied, and from that moment on I have been focused on helping others asking for advice in this field.

 

I try my best to be a dream chaser, to be dedicated, disciplined, healthy, a family man, while making sure to cherish every moment.

In my free time I love traveling around the world and gathering with family and friends. I think balance in life is the key for a healthy and happy life.
