The World's Strongest Astronomer

Yes I was one of those dudes that lift, pull, roll, drag and carry heavy things :-)

In 1997 I was runner up in Australias Strongest Man competition
In 1998 I was winner of the Tasmanian strength challenge
In 1998, 1999 and 2004 I was 2nd in the Australia v New Zealand International Strength Challenge
In 1999 and 2000 I was Captain of the Australian Strongman Team
In 2001 I set a new World Record in the popular Farmers Walk strongman event
In 2002 I was Champion of the Stones at Bundanoon is Brigadoon

Throughout my career as a competitive strongman I got to travel a bit and enjoyed appearences on a few TV shows, on a number of radio stations and in lots of Newspapers and I even appeared on the side of a cereal packet - it was great fun! I retired from major competition at the end of 2004...now the Universe is calling.....
