As a competitive powerlifter for more than thirteen years, I have made a name for myself as one of the most powerful squatters in the sport. I am one of the top ranked lifters in the world in three weight classes and still hold numerous national and world squat records. At age 38 I was one of only a few men in the world to squat over 1,000 lbs. at a body weight of 220 lbs. and at age 42, his squat of 1,105 lbs. at 249 lbs. body weight solidified my status as one of the top squatters in the world.
