Donnie's Brief Bio

Donnie has an athletic background having played both college and professional football. He holds the distinction of having been 1 of 25 NCAA football players to weigh in excess of 300 lbs while he was playing in the mid to late 80s.

After a brief stint with the NFL’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers and a 6 year ride in the Arena Football League Donnie opened his own gym in 1993. One half dozen years later his yearning for competition and natural proclivity for size and strength thrust him into the competitive powerlifting arena. With the help of Westside Barbell guru Louie Simmons he rose quickly through the ranks and in only 4 years became a professional powerlifter.

In 2005 he became certified in Russian Kettlebell Training. Having gotten out of gym ownership in 2002 Donnie spends his non-competitive time traveling to do Russian Kettlebell seminars and consulting in the gym business.
