I know he is gone, but is possible for anyone with a more intimate relationship with him, either by email, or other social media, to at least let him know that he won, and we all loved and respected him, and his contributions to the site?

He's gone? Like, gone, gone? I know he was trying to cut back some of his time here but did something happen where he totally left?

I’ve been away for a couple of days, I need to catch up… Didn’t see this.

I'm not totally sure what happened. In his day in the life thread bbxtreme makes a post about how he is moving on and away from the forum. Sounds like there were some lively arguments where him and someone else got into it. Members do come and go, and while this isn't "real life", I hate seeing good members leave.

Thank you all for the kind words. We all have bad times or periods in life. I’ve had a lot of good in my life as of late and in the past weeks some bad as well.

All things in life are temporary though. I apologize to guys here that I took any of my personal shit out on.

This place has always been here for guys through the good and bad. It’s rare to find places and people like that.

I will not be as active here in the current moment, but will check in as time permits going forward. Thank you to all for the support.

My only goal has been to prove what the “everyday normal guy” in this sport can achieve, and do so responsibly. I hope to keep inspiring all to do that.

I have learned a lot from you, and your log, insights. I respect your desire to step away for a while, but I think I speak for a lot of other guys here (which the voting reflects) when I say we value(d) your contributions.

Do what you need to do for you first, and foremost. Anytime you feel like coming by, commenting, just know you are welcome, respected, and appreciated man.

Thank you man. I’ve always valued your post here. You’re the most hardcore (and natural) bodybuilder/fan of this sport that I’ve ever come across. Much respect.

To be transparent, I’m a very private person with my life outside of bodybuilding. But I was blind sided by some personal stuff (not looking for attention). It’s in my nature to go inward and focus only what I know when that happens- training, business etc.

But in reflection, it would be a fools errand to think ghosting this board was productive or healthy during that. This place has been here for me since I was a teenager and through every good and bad time I’ve had. I have dozens of guys, friends that I text daily now that I have met from here. I guess I say all of that as we are all figuring this shit out still in life. Myself included.

But I will add to this thread- this is the ONLY bodybuilding scenario where I would have ever beat any of the other guys who were in the running. They’d all kick my ass on stage.

So thank you all for the support and showing me a little grace during this time. I’m not going anywhere. Just need to get some things sorted.
