Wow there are so many people who have profound influences on me as a wrestler then and as an official now.
Without a doubt the two individual most responsible for my sucess as a wrestler where my kids club coach Kirk Gable whom I have extreme respect for. He was there with me practicing during the summer months every year and never gave up on me.
And then of course my high school coach Bill Christner who has already been mentioned once before in this forum. Having spent the better part of 7 years around Coach Christner, I could have never imagined how much I could have learned from him. He is without a doubt the most classy coach I have ever known, and I'll be enternally thankful for being under his guidence.
But I can't forget the other coaches that helped me along as well. Dave Robinson, Terry Thorson,Pat Flynn,James Stout, Tim Lytle, and Shane Palmer.
