Throwback Thursday: Learning to Use Chopsticks
I don’t think anyone has ever looked at me and thought, “That guy probably orders a small meal.” 😄 This photo was taken in 2019 during a sushi dinner. Sushi has always been one of my favorite cuisines, especially when I want something that tastes fresh and doesn’t leave me feeling overly heavy afterward. And yes… I… Continue reading

Throwback Thursday: Santorini
Some places really do live up to the photos. This was taken in Santorini, Greece, in September 2018. The island is famous for its whitewashed buildings, blue-domed churches, and dramatic cliffs that overlook the caldera — a huge volcanic crater created by one of the largest eruptions in recorded history. I remember spending time just… Continue reading

Throwback Thursday: Rome
You don’t have to walk very far in Rome before running into another incredible piece of history. This photo was taken in September 2014 in front of one of the city’s many impressive statues. What I enjoy most about Rome is that history isn’t just tucked away inside museums, it’s part of everyday life. You… Continue reading

Throwback Thursday: An Unexpected Friend
Bodybuilding is serious… but life doesn’t always have to be. This photo was taken in Italy in September 2021, when I found myself sharing a quiet moment with a giant teddy bear wearing a face mask. It definitely wasn’t something I expected to see, which is probably why I couldn’t resist sitting down for a… Continue reading

A Few Days in Alicante, Spain
Another trip, another experience. This time I’m heading to Alicante, Spain, for a few days. It’s one of those places in the world where I really like to spend some time every year. Alicante sits on Spain’s Mediterranean coast, and for me it has a combination that works very well: good weather, the beach, good… Continue reading

Throwback Thursday: Coffee First
Some things never change. This photo was taken in the summer of 2021, and if you know me, you probably know there’s a good chance that cup is filled with coffee. It’s one of the small daily rituals I really enjoy, whether I’m getting ready for a workout, answering DMs, or simply taking a few… Continue reading

Throwback Thursday: Taking a Moment
Life doesn’t always have to be moving at full speed. This photo was taken during the summer of 2021. Training, work, travel, and preparing for competitions can make life feel like a constant race, but I’ve learned that taking time to slow down is just as important as knowing when to push hard. Some of… Continue reading

Throwback Thursday: An Evening in Franciacorta
Italy is full of places where history, tradition, and craftsmanship come together, and Franciacorta is one of them. This photo was taken in Franciacorta in the summer of 2023, a region in northern Italy that’s internationally known for its sparkling wines. They’re produced using the traditional bottle fermentation method, the same process used in Champagne, and the… Continue reading

Throwback Thursday: Down the Rabbit Hole
Some travel destinations are memorable because of the scenery. Others are memorable because they make you smile. This photo was taken in Tulum, Mexico, in spring 2022. Tulum has become famous for its white-sand beaches, turquoise Caribbean water, and the nearby Mayan ruins that overlook the coastline. It’s a place where nature, history, and creativity all… Continue reading

Throwback Thursday: Soaking Up the Sardinian Sun
There are moments when the best thing you can do is simply pause, close your eyes, and appreciate where you are. This photo was taken in 2022 on the Costa Smeralda, a spectacular stretch of coastline in northeastern Sardinia. Its name literally means “Emerald Coast,” inspired by the crystal-clear turquoise water that has made it one of the… Continue reading

What I’ve Learned Working With Photographers
Over the years, bodybuilding has naturally brought me into a lot of photo shoots, collaborations, and creative projects with photographers in different countries and environments. At first, I thought modeling was mostly about physique alone. You train hard, show up in shape, and the photos take care of themselves. It doesn’t really work that way.… Continue reading
