    Unstoppable- Anthony Robles movie

    I have had the pleasure of knowing Anthony for a number of years. Just a remarkable human being even if he didn't ever wrestle. Quick story: in 2013 when the NCAA's were in Des Moines, a friend of mine was there with his 6th grade son. He asked me if I would introduce him to Anthony and the...

    West O Blood Round Beer- C&G Collective

    I was unable to attend the Blood Round party on Saturday due to prior commitments. Hopefully it was well attended and people enjoyed the Blood Round and the fellowship. Season is coming quickly; ISU wrestling is going to be a wild ride this season.

    Blood Round West O Beer- C&G Collective Beer

    It's been a long time coming to make this happen. West O, Matt and Joe especially, have been great to partner with on this project. It was very interesting to see this thing through from conception to fruition and the steps involved are just ridiculous to an outsider like me. But all that was...

    West O Blood Round Beer- C&G Collective

    I was fortunate enough to be involved with West O through tastings and name discussions. West O had their marketing team work through multiple designs and countless names. This CNG beer has blood orange in it and when they presented us with the name Blood Round, it was overwhelmingly the first...

    Thanks so much. So glad you enjoyed it. The best thing that has happened to me was being fortunate enough to be blessed with great friends and an understanding wife and kids that wanted to help with this event. Tom Clary and Di Lorenzen host a wonderful VIP reception for everyone on Thursday...
