Some of the Events Created:
After thirty years producing over 60 successful sellout events I equaled the Mr. Olympia attendance with 5000 one day’s attendees at my Orange County Muscle Classic®. Today this same event with another promoter boasts of 500 – 600 paid attendees. In 1999 I Created “Women’s Figure Model Quest” at the 2000 Mr. Olympia weekend. I signed a legal contract with the help of none other than “The Trainer of Champions”, Mr. Joe Weider. It was the first ever “Joe Weider’s Figure Model Quest”. Joe gave me his blessing and $150,000.00 worth of publicity in his magazines. Notwithstanding, Joe and I agreed it was time for a change in the industry and we called it: “Joe Weider’s Figure Model Quest” for women and not too huge men”. It was the first IFBB Women’s Figure” contest at the Olympia Expo and for that mater the World. We saw 175 entries competing with over l 000 requests for entries from this one day event. “Women’s Figure Model” was born. In 2001 Women’s Figure was implemented with all events for the NPC and IFBB. Three months later I was pushed out without even a thank you. In 2001 we created the “Model Quest America and Universe” for women.
