- Certified MAG welder, I Skill training program. 7 years (2010)
Motorsports, content creating, videography, photography, powerlifting, sports.
In my spare time I like to build cars, project cars and drift cars and recently started to document this through my social media platforms, produce and edit them myself and have gained a decent following. I have been drifting for about 2 years and competed in two series in Northern Ireland and Scotland.
I've been training fro the past 2 years and recently discovered my love for powerlifting, so my trainer (6 year all ireland champion for his weight class) will continue to train me online to reach my goals and compete here.
I grew up playing many different sports and played them at a high level. My favorite would be rugby, but im looking forward to learning all about baseball, hockey and football here and maybe trying to play a bit with friends.
