since my last post a long time ago I went to wpc worlds in Baton Rouge Louisiana in 2016  where I won my weight class and broke a bench wr and said good by to competing at this level. 2017 I was struck with Ramsay hunt syndrome which I struggle with today. Took almost 2 years to deal with the health issues around this and to learn how to squat with constant vertigo as my inner ear is no longer works because of the nerve damage. I did get to gpc nationals last year and manage a wr squat bench and total. This likely marks the end of competition for me. I would like to get one more in next year which would give me 30 years as a competitive lifter. time will tell. No telling where the next adventure will lead. I'm still training daily but as I'm not competing I've added in so much more life
