When was your first tourney?
I started armwrestling in 1978.
My first tourney was in Allentown, PA (3rd Place).
I used to watch it on Wide World of Sports, saying that I could beat them. After I met them, I found
out I had to do a lot of training to do that.
What is your most memorable tourney?
1991 Sit-Down Nationals in Albany, NY
My first match was Dave Patton and I beat him.
Best Finish:
2000 Worlds in Finland where I took
1st Right-Handed and 3rd Left-Handed.
Hardest Match?
When I pulled John Brzenk. I hit him with
everything I had and still didn't have a chance.
Training Tips?
When you think you are ready for the next
tournament, keep training because there is always
someone out there better than you.
