From Flex, in a press release
Today marks a bittersweet day. On a mutual agreement, Gaspari Nutrition and myself decided to part ways.
Over the past 7 years I have cultivated life long relationships, friendships with staff, athletes, vendors and distributors around the world. I've seen parts of the world I thought I would never see, and I was able to grow with a company as they grew with me. I appreciate all that Rich Gaspari has done for me and to this day, still regard him as my "Big Brother". My decision to leave Gaspari was discussed and agreed upon between both parties. With that said, I looked into my future and I was no longer the prefect fit for Gaspari.
I wish Gaspari Nutrition and their new signee Branch Warren the very best in their future endeavors and believe what was best for my career and life was to move in a different direction. I move on with nothing but love spoken about my old teammates and my time as a Gaspari athlete.
With the need for change, great opportunities presented themselves. I am humbled by the different companies that showed interested in me, but only one team shares my vision, my goals for success, and beliefs, and that was BSN.
In order to achieve greatness, one must take risks and make change. If I feared change, I would not be where I am today, as two-time 212lb Mr. Olympia. I say this because, in life it's about taking risks, both calculated an spontaneous. In order to learn and grow into a better version of ones self. I believe I will achieve what I set out for as an athlete and a businessman with BSN.
I am excited to move on to the next chapter in life, and thrilled to be with TEAM BSN, representing NEW products and standing behind a brand that is determined to FINISH FIRST.
