Biography |
Dror Okavi was born December 28th, 1978 in Bet Halevi,
Israel. Like many others, Dror’s biggest inspiration growing
up was Arnold Schwarzenegger. At the age of 15, as a young
athlete, he already knew that he wanted to be as strong and
famous as his role model, Arnold. At age of 16 Dror began
his training in the gym for the first time. There he met his
trainer/nutritionist Yair Lav. Yair saw great potential in
Dror and showed him the correct way of working out. Dror
learned quickly and working out became his passion.
At the age of 18, Dror joined in the Israeli Army and served
his country for three years. While in the army, he was in
charge of physical training. He implemented a strenuous
workout that was incorporated with their military training.
After leaving the army he went right back to the gym, and
trained intensely for the Mr. Israel competition. With the
help of Yair Lav and Kobi Ezra he was more determine then
ever to win the championship.
Dror won his first Mr. Israel title when he was just 21
years old. At 22 years old he won Mr. Israel for the second
time and won overall champion with only 3.3 % body fat!
Dror became a personal trainer and did some modeling for the
next few years before he decided to come to the U.S. in
2004.
He is currently a personal trainer and fitness model. He has
worked with some great photographers, like Alex Ardenti,
Charles Worthington, Michael Neveux and Keith Munyan. He
also worked with Rich Gaspari at this year's Arnold Classic,
where he met Arnold himself!
Dror currently lives in Los Angeles where he is pursuing his
career as a fitness model. |
