Where
are you from?
Beaver,
Ohio. I lived in Illinois for a few
years.
How
long have you been armwrestling?
I've
been involved in Arm wrestling since January 1991. I was 14 yrs old.
How
did you get started?
The
first time I armwrestled was against an industrial arts instructor in school. He
had an armwrestling table at the school and I was armwrestling other kids in my
class. I was only getting pinned by the heavy weight guys. The instructor gave
me my first tournament flyer and I went to the tournament. I've been
addicted to armwrestling ever since then.
What
happened next? At this arm wrestling championship, Ohio State, I lost
2 matches and I was out of the competition. I decided then that I wanted to be
good at this sport of armwrestling. At my second tournament, I saw Mike O'Hara
pull like five different weight classes. He won about 4 classes. He ended up
leaving the tournament with five trophies. He was my first armwrestling
inspiration.
What
have you done since then?
After
pulling for years, I finally won my first tournament in October of 1994. Finally
when I moved to Illinois of August of 1996, I started to compete more and
getting more experience by winning state championships. I got introduced to the
World’s Wristwrestling Championship (armwrestling) in Petaluma and the World
National Wristwrestling Association.
Well
what exactly have you won all over the world?
As
far as all of the tournaments that I’ve won all over the world, here a few of
the important ones:
