I wouldn’t want to start this new and exciting season any other way. Eric was the very first guest on the podcast and I’m happy to continue sharing his story. Since graduating from the University of Nebraska, Eric has turned his attention to the Senior Level and currently competes at the NWRTC. He won both the Bill Farrell Open and the Henri Deglane to go along with a 4th place finish at the US Open. Eric also recently celebrated his wedding with his wife, Clare. Clare is a talented photographer and actually now is a great time to sign up and grab some fall family photos. If you or someone you know is in the market for a photographer, send them Clare’s way!

With all that being said, please sit back, relax and enjoy, Eric Schultz!

Paul was the first wrestler I really looked up to at MFL MarMac. He was intense, a hard worker and one hell of a competitor. Paul was Chet’s first 4x Upper Iowa Conference Champion. He qualified for state 3 times and placed 8th as a senior. Paul also wrestled on the same team as his brothers Phil, Peter and Pat, which was a pretty special moment for the Fisk family. Paul now lives in Cresco and helps run the family business called Fisk Farm and Home in Decorah. So please, sit back, relax and enjoy, Paul Fisk!

Along with his return to competing, James is also an Assistant Coach on the Nebraska staff, where James himself was a 4x All-American. While James has all these accomplishments on the mat, we touch more on who James is as a person. It was a pleasure to peel back the layers and find out a little more about who James Green is.

Blake was pretty much a stud from the get-go, winning 5 AAU state titles. During that time, he wrestled at one of the toughest clubs around, the Cedar Valley Mat Club. His success followed him into his high school days, as he became a 4x state placewinner for Denver-Tripoli. Blake chose to attend Upper Iowa University and was a national runner-up as a sophomore. Unfortunately, Blake battled knee injuries for most of his wrestling career, making his accolades that much more impressive. Blake now owns an acreage in Denver with his wife and two kids, who I bet are just as rowdy as he was. So please, sit back, relax and enjoy, Blake Sorensen!
