Bio

Because records are made to be broken you have provided the goal toward which others must strive. Few have stepped into the arena of combat as you have with instincts to win--and always with the demeanor of a gentleman.

Your records are piled high, one upon the other. You won four M.I.A.A. League Championships in Wrestling and were named to the all-conference team four consecutive times. You are the only Olivet wrestler to achieve over 100 wins in your collegiate career. Amateur Wrestling News named you to its all-American team in 1973 and you completed your Olivet career by captaining the team in both your junior and senior years.

As a student you were active in campus affairs. Your background at Olivet College prepared you for work in youth counseling and a master’s degree from Western Michigan University. While serving young people you are pursuing another graduate degree in Specialty Program in Alcohol and Drug Abuse.

As the generation of young people come and go, each in its turn will speak with pride of your achievements. It is with this same pride therefore that Olivet College inducts you into the Olivet College Athletic Hall of Fame on this 15th day of October, 1983.
