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.

Another One in the Same Boat as Me

I'm a pretty happy person but I must admit that having Balboa join me from my boxing club in Korea was definitely one of the best things I've done since I moved here.
I still struggle with reverse culture shock but it's nice to know I'm not so alone here.  He's in the same boat as me 
-- trying to make sense of this foreign land.

This is comfort -- this is love.
