Born in 1967 in Romania, moved to Canada in 1998. I did sports and art all my life. My father was Kayak / Canoe coach for national team of Romania, I was in the weight room with him and his team from 1979 ( at that time I was interested in body building). I did Civil engeneering and Fine art instead. Moving to Canada and having my second child I decided that I cannot leave away from any gym. Because I was too old for sports to compete I decided to be a fitness instructor in an area I know, martials arts.
