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!
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.

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




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.
