About Us
I am Hector Gerardo Del Nido. I have had the best start in life, living the first years of my life in the most beautiful best kept secret, Patagonia, Chile. I grew up in a small town called Palena, population of 2000 people in the middle of the Andes Mountains. When I finished year 12 I came to Australia, I came for a holiday during the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney and ended up living in Darwin for 11months. I decided to return to Australia to work hard and make my dreams come true!! 23 Years later, here I am living the dream with my beautiful wife Karlene and 2 Amazing daughters Angelica and Ariella.
Thanks to determination and hard work I have been honoured to represent Australia in high a level of sport on 2 Occasions, competing at the World Titles in Natural Bodybuilding in New York.It has been a life long dream and now with the encouragement of my Business Coach Bruza and the EBS Community, I am going all out and bringing it to you! Taking on this adventure, showing you in personalised groups the best of my home away from home. I have done the work behind the scenes to make this an experience of a lifetime.
