Our commitment to inner fulfillment and holistic well-being is a testament to our evolution from a renowned fitness brand to a beacon for self-improvement. In parallel, as the author of the Amazon #1 Bestseller "The Ridiculous," I bring laughter & happiness to readers worldwide, enhancing their journey of self-discovery and resilience.Innovative visionary leader with over 3 decades of experience driving growth & success across diverse industries, including fitness, wellness, & media. Adept at building & nurturing partnerships, developing strategies that fuel expansion & managing operations that optimize efficiency. Proven track record of inspiring global communities through events, publications & digital platforms. Exceptional communicator, creative thinker & strategic advisor with a passion for community building. I’ve dedicated my life to turning *ridiculous* dreams into remarkable realities, empowering influencers who, in turn, have helped millions transform. Now, as @jeffreykippel and I relaunch FAME, we’re building on its legacy to create even more transformative experiences.I brought to life the World Natural Sports Organization, FAME World Tour & the BodyPROUD Social Initiative. I produced hundreds of events, expos & workshops empowering physical transformations. This led to international events, brought together warring nations in Africa, sparked press conferences and uplifted lives. With TV shows in 5 continents, our fitness series became a #1 hit on TSN (Canada’s Sports Network). My experience as a Community Engagement Strategist and Advisor to many companies, I helped launch one of the most active wellness communities (4,500+ unique daily visitors), and helped a social network grow from a $3 million valuation to over $1 billion in just 33 months.I also acted as Exec Editor of a Magazine that became a collectible internationally with the highest pass-through rate in the industry.Throughout my journey, I’ve studied under leaders in wellness intelligence, self-health, and empowerment earning multiple certifications.My passion project, *The Ridiculous* is a book series that leads into hyperverse designed to inspire accountability and help people achieve their wants, needs, goals, desires, and dreams. Book 1 has already ranked #1 on Amazon in Comedy, Self-Help & Psychology Humor, and Science Fiction and HAPPINESS.

    You may recognize FAME for having pioneered the natural fitness, bodybuilding and fitness model markets, first in Canada and then in areas around the world. After 10 years of research, planning and strategy we are finally launching the next phase of FAME. Our goal is to bring health back to fitness. We want to ensure that self care promoting mental, emotional and physical health becomes a natural part of everyone's life. FAME is a company that rewards people for sharing information, innovations, and inspiration through a gamified fitness-themed self-care app. Its mission is to empower people to love better how they think, feel and look by being authentic, accountable and transparent. Over time this results in a resource of wholesome products, proven methods and a network of authenticated social role models.We are looking for strategic launch partners to be part of the movement right from the start: people who are mission makers, visionaries, or innovators. People who want their voice heard, message known, or creation experienced. If this is you, please reach out.
  • Fame Media Group
    Co-Founder - Vision & Strategy
    Fame Media Group Apr 2007 - May 2019
    FAME Media Group Inc acted as a business incubator and mastermind group during the course of 12 years. I was engaged in research and development to learn how best to fill glaring social voids and course correct. I used my decade + of experience in both the fitness, model and bodybuilding industries, and the empowerment space to understand, plan, strategize and launch FAME 2.0 and its BodyPROUD Social Initiative. Having provided platforms incentivizing individuals and teams of individuals to transform -- via the FAME World Tour and the World Natural Sports Organization (WNSO) -- I saw the value of transformation, and I came to learn that something major was missing: health, mentally and physically. Leveraging 150 plus years of experience, proficiency and passion, the business incubator mastermind team has skill-sets across multiple industries: Health & Fitness; Lifestyle & Empowerment; Competitions & Workshops; Certification programs; Online Communities; Technology Builds; and growing niche cultures.
