Hi Adrian, thanks for joining us. Let’s talk about your journey to the World Championships.
What motivates you to compete in bodybuilding?
What the body is capable of, whether during off-season or deep into prep, always amazes me. That transformation and the challenge are what drive me.
Can you share a significant moment from your fitness journey that stands out?
Winning my Pro Card for the first time. That moment meant everything.
Who or what inspires you to keep pushing toward your goals?
My son. He motivates me to keep pushing and be my best every day.
What advice would you give to someone aspiring to compete, especially with Pure Elite?
Believe in yourself from the beginning. When the time is right, everything will come together.
What has been the biggest challenge you’ve faced in your fitness journey, and how did you overcome it?
As a former hockey player, I’ve had several surgeries on my legs. Getting past those injuries and returning to full strength was probably the toughest part of my journey.
Is this your first Pure Elite Pro show?
Yes.
How does it feel preparing for your first time on the World stage?
It’s really cool. I’m enjoying every day of the process.

I earned my Pro Card with Pure Elite just a few days ago, so my mindset hasn’t changed — I’m still focused and ready to win the Worlds.

Winning my Pro Card. That achievement was a dream come true.

What lessons or experiences are you bringing into this prep?
To be among such an elite group of athletes is something I’m incredibly proud of, and it pushes me to reach even higher.
What’s different about your prep or mindset this time around?
My mindset. I’m dialed in, focused, and hungry to prove myself.
What drives you to keep showing up at your best?
Discipline. It’s the core of everything I do.
What does being a Pure Elite Pro mean to you?
It means being part of something elite. It’s a badge of honor that shows I belong on the world stage.

I’ve doubled down on my mindset and focus.
What would you tell yourself before your first Pro World Championships?
Just believe in yourself. That belief is everything.
What advice would you give to athletes aiming for their Pro Card?
