Yas has a degree in Exercise and Health Science as well as a Bachelor of Health Science, specialising in Myotherapy.

For as long as Yas can remember, he has been motivated to help others, specifically those suffering from acute or chronic musculoskeletal injuries. He can relate to people who have injuries as he has endured his fair share of injuries and setbacks while training as an Olympic Weightlifter.

In his time away from work, Yas enjoys training; he believes in living a healthy balance, which also includes reading and playing video games.
