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.

Boxing and Business on Overdrive

I was doing abs ringside today when I looked up and caught this scene.
It felt like a replay of a scene from many moons ago back in Korea, 
at my first boxing club -- UP Boxing Club.  
He's like the Filipino version of my teammate Jae Myoung back at UP.  His name is Roman 
and he's fighting out in Japan in a couple of days so he's still training hard up until fight day.
From boxing to business, sporting my name and club on my clothes, books in hand and, of course, food also in hand.  Life of an athlete, life of an entrepreneur... the juggle is real, the struggles are many.
