Base

About

Grew up in So Cal, USA. Began competing with peers in elementary school. Won all school eating competitions, both speed and quantity. Started a four team eating league with co-workers which lasted 2 years. Solid 2 star eater. Can compete at 3 star level. I enjoy spicy challenges as well. Have sipped pure capsacin (not recommended). My favorite challenges are Burger Challenges. Tried a 6.5 lb 4 star challenge and failed by about a pound. I have restricted myself to food challenges and do not expect to increase my capacity.
