Bio

While a student at Olivet College you lettered four years in wrestling and one year in tennis. As a member of the Olivet Wrestling Team you brought many honors to yourself and your College. As a freshman you were named All-MIAA the last year the conference included wrestling as a sport. That year you were the only freshman to beat the defending conference champion. You went on to be named All-American twice and to qualify for the NCAA, Division III Nationals three times. You were voted best competitor and most valuable, twice.

As a student you were active in a wide range of areas. You served as Vice President of the Recreation Club. You were a writer for the student newspaper, The Echo, and you were a student campus security guard. You were also active in intramural sports, including championship teams in flag-football and indoor soccer.

After graduation from Olivet you were Certified as a Personal Trainer by the American Council of Exercise. You are now the Director of Admissions and Career Development for American Education Center, Inc.

Because of your exceptional abilities as a student athlete, it is with great pride that on this 26th day of October, 1996, we induct you into the Olivet College Athletic Hall of Fame.
