A number of photographs of myself during my final years in competition. They are mostly NABBA Universe contest photographs where I spent the most part of my competition career. I think the years are 2003, 2006 and 2007. It took many attempts to win this title and prolonged my years as a competitive athlete. Being referred to as Mr Universe by many when I had not won the title made my situation quite embarrassing. Having previously won every available title from novice to overall Mr world together with being awarded an IFBB pro card as far back as 1999, my career ended in Vilnius (Lithuania) with the WBBF when I finally won the Universe title in November 2008. Following this win I retired from competitive bodybuilding.
