Finally wanted to give an update on my training status. I had some good training at home for the last few weeks. It was really great being back in California resting and seeing my friends and family ...
If you didn't know, there is a heat wave in California right now. Man I wish I had Air Conditioning. My old roommates tried to go to the store to get a fan, ended up by going to ...
Finally I got them up for public viewing. I was only able to upload about a third of the Mongolia pics, as there is a limit that I can upload per month, but the rest will be posted and I'll ...
Really, there are not too many exciting stories like when I travel, but being home has been very good to me. Although these trips are amazing, the last 6 weeks were starting to wear on me, living out of ...
I just finished the wrestling camps in Grants Pass and Redmond, Oregon and they went really well. Dan and I have a really fun time teaching some of these techniques. Dan especially has got some good stories and ...
I run a camp with Dan Vidlak, a former couple time all-american from Oregon and my hero when I was little. In fact, his family got me started wrestling when I was in the first grade. ...

Well, I guess a lot has happened but I ended up in 5th place. Some may say that is good, but for me it is all relative. I should not have lost the matches I lost and it ...
I weigh in today and compete tomorrow. After all this downtime, I’m excited that it is finally happening. Tonight at weigh ins, I will pull a number out of a hat and that determines who I wrestle, so ...
Not much is happening in Mongolia. The women's wrestling started today, so I'm going to go watch the finals later, but other than that getting ready to compete.
Last night was pretty cool. There is a past World ...
Mongolia is pretty wild. We had an early practice, where I did a lot of flow wrestling and felt great. My knee doesn't slow me down at all and I very rarely feel it, so the ...
I’ve been here for a little over 24 hours and it has been great. I’m staying in the Chengiss (Ghengis in Mongolian) Khan hotel, and it is realy nice. Like the PanAms, its got everything inside the hotel. ...
I just wanted to give some more updates on my training status. It's amazing what a week off the wrestling mats will do. I hate riding the bike, but I've already gaineda kilo or maybe even two, ...
