I grew up playing 3 sports: football, basketball, and baseball. By high school, I had dropped all sports except football and continued to play through college. I am currently very active in coaching Youth football and basketball. I am currently the head coach of an AAU 14:U girls basketball team and defensive coordinator of a Pee Wee (8-9 year olds) football team.

I have a strong love for Harleys......you can take the wife, the house, and the job, but damn don't mess with a man's Harley!

Most recently competed at the APA Battle of the Badasses, winning the 308 class with PRs in all lifts and total via 630 squat, 400 bench, 540 deadlift 1570 total. I left alot on the platform that day missing just my 3rd attempt bench of 450 about 2-3" from lockout. I feel I was good for around 1700 total that day based on what I left on the platform. I am planning to compete again at the APA Maryland state meet, run by my friend Jeff
McVicar, where I am planning to take a shot at 700 squat, near 500 bench, 600 deadlit and hopefully somewhere in those lifts I make up an 1800 total. I hope to hit my Elite total within the next 2-3 years.

I am the current APA Virginia State Chairman and most recently helped setup and run the APA Nationals here in Roanoke, VA with the help of my reliable workout partner, Clint Gray. I am right now working on getting Clint ready for his first meet, which right looks to also be at the APA Maryland States with me.
