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.

Hardwork Fills my Day

I may not come to training looking super happy nor do I smile during it but I leave feeling super pumped that I kicked my own butt.  Nothing like the endorphins running through you after an intense workout.  Sparred four rounds with Coach Perez today.
Am convinced in this new life I have in Canada, the only real man I need is that of my coach.  Sure I need my dad but hey I'm a boxer and this is a boxer's life I now lead.  Any additional men in my life would have to be Coach Rico and my male team mates at team training.  Today they all rallied around me to encourage me and show concern.  I appreciated that.  I appreciate all them.
Coach Perez on the speed bag.  I'm not as fast or as coordinated as him but I'm getting there.  
Patience my friend.  Patience and determination.
