As a kid, I would always see this guy running down the street, not knowig where he was going. One day I started running behind him and asked what he was doing or where he was going. He told me he was jogging and then just took off. I ran behind him for what I thought was 10 miles but was only 2. I then started wrestling for Coach Knox soon after with the Wichta West Wrestling Club during the 1988-1989 season.

Coach Knox has been there as a father figure and a friend for over 20 years. He drove all the way to Lincoln Nebraska on this own dime to support the State of Kansas but especially Nathan Bumphus and Myself. That year I took 8th in Cadet Greco Roman and Nate took 7th in Greco and 8th in Freestyle. He was also there to support me when I won my High School State Title in 1996. And,with the years of incouragment I finished my 4yr degree at Wichita State last year and Coach took off work and was there to watch me walk across the stage. Thanks CK for everything.

I know it has been a hard battle over the years and I know the "solict" is not for you but for us! People will always hate the dedication you give for they will never be able to stand taller than you and I think you a little over 5 feet tall(lol, had to get that in. lol!)
