Teaser for the 2010 Ultimate Arm Wrestling League television show.




The Ultimate Arm Wrestling League has to be one of the most exciting things to happen to this sport in a long time! Take a peek at the website for upcoming events, current champs and etc!





The right arm is shot so I might as well focus on the left! Brooklyn, New York 7/26/2010.




280 lbs. before I moved to New York. I worked out 6 days a week when I lived in Jersey, now I’m lucky to even get a few days in a week.


Official Northeast USA Arm Wrestling Rankings

I’m ranked third left handed and fifth right handed in the Northeast United States. Looks like I need to start training some again!

View the rankings here.



Some pictures from the Bronx tournament from a few months ago. I didn’t compete that day but hung out with Jason Vale and Mike Selearis.





I was selected for the 10th Anniversary Issue of Vegnew’s The Hot List! What an honor to be sharing a spread with Vanessa Lengies. “From tough guys to artists to the toasts of Tinsel Town, these 10 vegans are making the world a better place.”



My name was mentioned along side Mac Danzig and Tony Gonzalez in the July issue of Maxim Magazine! The article is called HE-MAN VEGANS. Check it out.


Check out my latest “Not Your Typical Treehugger” interview from UPROAR.
Yet we have no­ticed over the years that many peo­ple car­ry around a tired old set of an­ti ve­g­an prej­u­dices, just wait­ing to un­load them on the first un­sus­pect­ing ve­g­an they come across. You’ll of­ten hear th­ese peo­ple mind­less­ly char­ac­terise ve­g­ans as pale, weak, wast­ing away, tree hug­ging let­tuce munch­ing hip­pies, most­ly with­out ev­er hav­ing met an ac­tu­al ve­g­an! The aim of the Not Your Typ­i­cal Tree­hug­ger cam­paign is to in­tro­duce you to re­al ve­g­ans in the com­mu­ni­ty, from all walks of life, and in the pro­cess take a sledge­ham­mer to un­in­formed and in­cor­rect prej­u­dices about what it is to be ve­g­an.

What an honor it was to be interviewed by Johanna Björk of the Goodlifer. Check out the full interview here.
Q: We’ve all heard that eating less meat is the single most effective thing we can all do to combat climate change. But, very few people are willing to give up meat. It’s still not considered socially acceptable to “tell people how to eat.” Do you have any tips on how to inspire people to change?
 A: I have been doing the best I can with educating, inspiring, and breaking stereotypes without throwing it in peoples faces. I like to live my life by example and hopefully rub off on family and friends. People don’t realize the harsh cruelty and suffering these innocent animals go through before eventually ending up the mutilated meat in your sandwich. Being vegan also means being green, it is the absolute best thing for our environment!

I’m one of the featured vegan athletes in John Joseph’s latest book Meat Is For Pussies. Rip Esselstyn, Jake Shields, Fred Bisci, Mike Mahler, Brendan Brazier, and Robert Cheeke are among some of the others. I highly recommend this informative, humorous and quick read. John Joseph’s energey just explodes through the pages.




The 2009 NYC Big Apple Grapple took place in April 18, 2009. This video highlights the competition from last year - including the overall NYC King of Arms Giorgi Gelashvili and the Queen of Arms - Josee Morneau.
