Hi my name is Brian, and I'm from Ontario, Canada. When I was younger I was a high level competitor for judo, with aspirations to go to the Olympics. When I was about 19 and very early into international competition, I got injured at work and it ended my career. I ended up with a hundred and fifty pieces of steel falling on my forearm, gouging it and taking me off training for a good six months (doesn't seem like that long, but for high level competition it's enough to set you far behind). Now I am 26 years old, 5 foot 8 and 220 pounds, with early signs of heart disease, hoping to get my life back. I've realized that I can't do this alone and I'm hoping that by having a community with common goals, it will make it easier to reach mine.
