Don’t Let His Size Fool You

Aleks Paunovic is one of those people who dominates a room.
At 6 5 tall, of Serbian and Croatian descent, with a large, muscular build, his presence rarely goes unnoticed. Paunovic grew up in Winnipeg, Canada, with boxing blood in his veins. His father, uncle, and grandfather were all champion boxers in the old Yugoslavia, and Paunovic continued the tradition, winning championships across Canada in his weight category well into his 20s.
However, a love of creativity of the arts equally matched his athleticism, and Paunovic spent several years touring as the bass player of a metal rock band, Specula Black.
