Introduction: I have been in the strength and fitness arena for over 30 years. My personal athletic accomplishments include an NCAA Shot Put Championship, Indiana State Olympic Lifting Champion, Region 5 Powerlifting Champion, World Weigh Pentathlon Champion and World Masters Shot Put Champion.
I have also been a top ten state ranked racketball player, handball player, squash player, rower, and competed at a US Olympic Bobsled tryout.
Professionally I have owned a black iron gym, been head NCAA Strength Coach and a successful NCAA Throws coach for 15 years and Strength Consultant to the Indiana Strongman Association.
Modern strength training concepts are derived for training concepts of the throwers in the late 70's and early 80's which was my era. I enjoy cutting through all of the BS of the "functional training" crowd.
