Goals

I’ve met my goals. Now it’s time to lift for fun. I got involved in Strongman by doing one contest. In 1997, I was diagnosed with an incurable bone marrow disease and later that year, God healed me. I set out to prove in the physical what God did in the supernatural. The whole story is too long for me to write it here, contact me if you want the whole thing.
