Hometown
Webster Springs, W. Va.
Height
5'10"
Weight
255 pounds
Occupation
Civil defense trial attorney at MacCorkle, Lavender & Sweeney
Favorite event
Single Buck or One Person Crosscut Training for the Single Buck, for me,
is about pure aggression. Nothing makes a stressful day at the office go away
like a good single buck training session..
Training routine
I try to weight train three times a week, but I practice yoga and tai chi daily.
I also meditate several times a day. I normally alternate weight training days
and event sport-specific training days, as age simply won't allow me do them on
the same day anymore. As an aside, and a sedentary 'white collar stiff', I try
to get at least two hours of physical activity a day, no matter what type of
activity that may be.
Accolades/awards/competitions won
Multiple time Carhartt Chopping Champion, multiple medal winner in the Men's
Endurance event at ESPN's Great Outdoor Games, and multiple STIHL TIMBERSPORTS
Series Finalist; 2006 Standing Block World Champion; Winner of 40 Individual
World Titles including the All Around World Title at the 2007 Webster County
Woodchopping Festival; Captain of STIHL's United States National Lumberjack
Team.
