About

Hello everyone out there.

Thanks for your interest in finding out some more about me. It's really very flattering.

I got into boxing as a hobby a little bit late in life. I was in my mid twenties. I know that's not exactly old, but when you consider that a lot of athletes get a start i their teens, it is several years behind them. I was a little overweight at the time and completely out of shape. A slow metabolism hit me early. Genetics gets you sometimes, I guess. Then you have to just work around that, and do the best you can to stay healthy.

I had a friend who was really into the sport. He was always inviting me to go to the gym with him and spar around a little bit, telling me how much fun it would be. Personally, I never thought a punch in the nose would be my idea of fun. But one day, when I got tired of feeling blah all the time, I just decided to take him up on it. And when I did - What a feeling that turned out to be. The rush of bobbing, weaving, and punching around. You really can't describe it to anyone who hasn't ever tried.

Now, after years of training and sparring I feel just great. And I also love the sport.
Watching it, participating in it casually, and writing about it too. That's why I put this site up, so that I would have a forum to speak about boxing every once in a while. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
