I am in Bemidji Minnesota

Hi everyone,

I am in Bemidji with my son Matt. I came up to watch him play football for the Bemidji State Beavers. The Beavers play in the Northern Sun Division. BSU is a NCAA D2 school. The Beavers won in dramatic style on a late field goal with only 40 seconds left in the game. The final score was 41-40. I went out with Matt, his girl friend Jackie and all of his football buddies, and we drank more than a few beers together. Bemidji really jumps after a homecoming win. There was a street party in down town last night that was huge fun. It was a great way to celebrate my 51st birthday.

Next week I will be posting our workouts in preparation for the up coming WABDL worlds in Nov. I hope all of you are well and getting stronger.

Reno High Huskies Win

Hi Everyone,

Well, my Reno Huskies win a huge game last night over Damonte Ranch 31-7. We are now 3-1. We beat Douglas week one and Carson City week two, but we lost last week to Galena, so it was nice to get back on track. We are now ranked #3 in Northern Nevada. It was a big win for the team and for me. I have had a long couple of weeks and it was nice to see my boys play well last night.

Good bye my son

I lost my oldest son yesterday. My son Peter died in his sleep yesterday morning. Peter was a gentle giant. He had such a gentle kind heart and loved animals, and they loved him back. In my mind I can still see big Peter and my bull dog Triscuit sleeping together in my big chair. Triscuit loved big Pete. My son's life was filled with hardships and challenges that made his life very hard at times. Peter struggled with his weight for most of his life, but his large size matched his huge heart. I am very sad tonight as I write this. My son Matt's heart is broken and I know the rest of the family will be grieving. I share this with all of you to encourage all of you to love those close to you, because you never know when they will be taken from you. Good bye my son may God bless you and keep you.

My New Home

http://www.crossfitsierranevada.com/

Above is the link to my new home. We have moved into a 12,000 square foot building and we are in the process of getting lots of new equipment. Our new building is allowing me to move all of my equipment into our new building. I love all of the space that I now have. On Sept. 21 we are doing a powerlifting exhibition as part of a soft opening. Hopefully I will be posting lots of videos and picture for all of you.

I want to thank all of you for hanging in there with me through this last year. Its been the toughest year of my life, but now I am starting to get my life back, and I hoping to be able to keep up with my daily posts on here.

I have a saying on my fridge that I read every day and it says: "Struggle as hard as you can for whatever you believe in." I believe that if God is for me than who can be against me. Through out this last year God has been with me every step of the way providing for me and leading me. Even though I am now divorced I still believe in true love and unconditional love, and I hope and pray that each of you will find true unconditional love.
