Based in New South Wales, Tavi’s fitness journey began at around the age of 20, initially with the simple goal of losing weight and improving his fitness for recreational sport. What began as a personal fitness challenge gradually developed into a passion for weight training and, ultimately, competitive bodybuilding.
Since making the transition to the competitive stage, Tavi has established an impressive record within the Australian amateur bodybuilding circuit.
