He's 27, I wonder what the story is.

Looks like he wrestled at the Luther Open last year at 149.

In 2007 the San Diego Union Tribune named him a 1st-Team All-Acacedemic high school athlete.

Seems to be a solid citizen. Maybe he was in the military.

I assumed the birth year (1989) was a fat finger. Now I'm really interested in the back story. He was enrolled at Iowa last year and was on the Dean's List. Welcome aboard Mr. Alvarez.

Some people search out opportunities not for the glory, but for growth. If that is the case, kudos to this young man.

Our own Tarp is a prime example.

I enjoyed your notes. Good read. Looks like TnT are starting to take your advice on the elites. Tell us more on how they were in the room and if they are the same now.

Beautifully played, my good man!

Sounds like it played out OK, from a life perspective. Now that you're an Author, thought I saw that you had a new movie being released based on one of your books, Fantastic Beasts or something like that...................

I assume you post here as TarpHawk, but your "hollywood" name is J.K. Rowling.....

If only that were true. I have an unfortunate knack for choosing extremely competitive career fields. But everyone is born and everyone dies, and everything in between is just adventure, right?

Alvarez will be at the GV Open this weekend.
