Speaking to the SUN, the elated body builder said he did not expect to win.  “Being almost 30 years senior to the oldest body builder in the category was crazy to me.  I never expected to win.  I thought the judges were looking for something else.”

The avid gardener has never travelled aboard and can not be more thrilled.

“The community’s support was unbelievable.  I am living my dream.   This whole experience is unreal to me,” he added.
