2016 has been a productive strongman season returning back to the sport. In June I took third place in the Open SHWW with United States Strongman. In September I won the HWW America's Strongest Master with Strongman Corporation. I would like to continue to make improvements and push my performance considerably for next year.
As of right now, I have no competition plans until next year. I am not sure what they will be but am using this down time to address some weaknesses, particularly 12" log and circus DB. Grip training will return as well.
Last month I got approval to start a strongman club at the high school I am teaching at. You can catch up on my first installment in order to follow along here:

Thanksgiving Break is officially over and our introductory meeting is scheduled for this Friday. I've hung flyers all over the school and stopped some of my favorite football players encouraging them to come out, train and help spread the word.
We'll see how well received this undertaking is Friday at break. In the meantime, this is the video that will be running with my announcement for the rest of the week and perhaps next week as well.
Big thanks to Pro Strongman, Anthony Sberna, for reaching out and sharing some great vids to include in an effort to get some kids interested and participating. Thank you!
I'll keep you posted how Friday goes and the plan from here.
