Our running escapades have been featured in a number of magazines, and we were featured together on the cover of UltraFIT Magazine's running issue.
Along with my wife and business partner Emilie we have established the world’s longest running and most successful bootcamp fitness program, ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP™ with over 40 locations across two continents.
We have built a reputation as Australia’s preeminent Transformation Experts, with our programs being featured in literally scores of publications around the world including GQ, Men’s Fitness, Men's Health, SHAPE, UltraFIT, ALPHA, Women's Health & Fitness, Cleo, Cosmopolitan, Cosmo Health, FHM, Women’s Health, Readers Digest, Rolling Stone, Runner’s World, The New York Times, and many others.
Our transformation clients have achieved such dramatic results that they have been featured on the covers of some of the most popular fitness & lifestyle publications including Shape, My Mad Methods, UltraFit (twice), Men's Health (4 times), Men’s Fitness (5 times), and GQ Champion (7 times).
Over the years I have held the position as Resident Fitness/ Transformation Expert and contributor to a number of publications including Contact, CLEO, UltraFIT and GQ, and was Australian Men's Health's first Fitness Director (though I am currently happy to freelance once again).
I have also guest edited a special Tactical Athlete issue of UltraFIT, which required me to select all contributors, and to set the overall direction and look of the issue.
Before joining the team at GQ I was named by the magazine as one of the Top 20 Aussie Game Changers, along with such respected individuals as Baz Luhrman, Cate Blanchett, Goyte & Joel Edgerton: http://goo.gl/FBfUcV
I have appeared on the covers of UltraFIT & Acceleration Magazines (along with Emilie), My Mad Methods Mag, and the COACH section of Men's Health.
Throughout the years I have been featured on, and consulted to, dozens of national & international television programs including – Biggest Loser Asia, Sunrise, TODAY, Gladiators, Run for Glory (BBC1), Wide World of Sports, Nerds FC, Today Tonight, A Current Affair and The Footy Show amongst others.
I studied TV Presenting at NIDA (National Institute of Dramatic Arts) and am extremely comfortable in front of the camera.
In recent years the Ten Network has commissioned two 1hr documentaries following some of our more specialised fitness events, The Longest Day™ and Survival Run™. Emilie and I presented on both programs.
In 2014 Em & I were contracted by Under Armour to select, train and mentor the first national World's Toughest Mudder Team. The team went on to place 2nd in the event despite one member completing the last 16hrs+ of the event with a collapsed lung.
In addition to the celebrities, professional athletes and everyday Aussies I have trained over the years, I have also had the honor of training members of some of the world’s most elite Special Forces & Special Operations units including – SASR, SRR, Royal Marine Commandos, SWAT, Navy SEALs, Marine Force Recon & Kopassus.
Most recently, Emilie and I have achieved world wide exposure for our work transforming multi-platinum singer/ song writer Guy Sebastian and wife Jules, Home & Away hunk James Stewart, everybody's favourite morning host Larry Emdur, the host of The Bachelor/ Bachelorette & Bachelor in Paradise Osher Gunsberg, and Home & Away honey Sophie Dillman. Three of these transformations were featured on the cover of Men's Health Magazine.
