As the story has it, one day I headed to the opposite side of the globe – the Flipside. I arrived in Korea February 16th, 2005 and thought I’d do a year, then leave. I was wrong. I stayed, launched my first company, Flipside Fitness, and then opened Korea's largest boxing club, Hulk's Boxing (now called Hulk's Club).

After 11.5yrs in Korea, I then picked up one day and returned to Toronto, Canada. But then I left again.

Now I live in the Philippines where I am the CEO and head coach of Empowered Clubhouse, the Philippines' first and only boxing clubhouse exclusively just for women. I also am the founder of the Lil' Sistas Project, CEO and designer of Slay Gear and Baa Baa Black Sheep .Ph.

Bustin Out into a Happy Dance... Saturday, July 25

I woke up today to an email from an elementary school friend of mine who was notoriously known for his amazingly detailed drawings and distraction with them.  He was so talented.  I met up with him when I recently visited Canada and was proud to note that he's kept up with his drawings and now makes money doing them as comic author and graphic designer.  In his message to me he noted that he has followed me on Facebook and wants to do a documentary/biography graphic novel on me -- my boxing career/life story.  I was so incredibly flattered so OF COURSE I accepted his offer.  It'd be an awesome honour, such a privilege.

Sooo... I'M GETTING MY OWN COMIC BOOK!!!

Honestly, to say it out loud was very cool but to write it here on my homepage, so very cool.  I'm super curious to see what I look like from his point of view and what parts of my life and boxing career he chooses to include in the book.  

After getting such kicka$$ news like that, I just had to break out into my happy dance.
