my biggest influence was coach ken piaza who used to coach for beloit i never wrestled for him.he was gone before i reached high school.
he was my pe teacher in grade school i was always picked on in grade school and he told me to keep my head up or he always had some thing encouraging to say to me and it lifted my spirits
that is why to me he is one of the greats in kansas wrestling and he should be in some kind of wrestling hall of fame if kansas has a wresling hall of fame he would have my vote
