Al got into the sport relatively late in life- he was already in his 40’s – but he quickly became a fervent supporter of powerlifting, and pushed hard for the sport to remain drug-free. He served as director of countless meets, both in the Clearfield area and elsewhere, and he also judged events across the country.
Al founded the Anti-Drug Athletes United (ADAU), and their National Championship meet was held this past weekend at the Expo I building in Clearfield. I went to the meet on Sunday and asked if anyone wanted to share their memories of Big Al – the response was overwhelming! I chose the best of the collection for the video you are about to see – it’s a bit long for a ‘podcast’ at 12 minutes, but if you have the time PLEASE watch all of it – you’ll see what an impact Big Al had on so many people. without further ado, here’s the video.
