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.

A Very Wet Kind of Day

Nothing like Mother Nature frowning down on you, tempting to pour down on you if you don't hurry up and get to boxing.  I was running late and apparently Mother Nature had noticed.
The life of a fighter is train, eat, sleep, repeat.  Unfortunately with fights being hard to come by, as I'm now learning thanks to two opponents now who have canceled, there's more training and sleeping than there is eating but we don't get paid unless we fight.
Thankfully though, there is amazingly delish and ultra cheap street food in this country.
I'm not a fan of Filipino food, I much prefer the spiciness of Korean food, but their street food is ridiculously so damn good.  Today's discovery, garlic roasted peanuts with dried red peppers!!!
The gym in my condo is finally renovated and opened so I headed in tonight for a late 
night sweat sess to help break it in during their soft opening.
