Seth was born in 1974 as a triplet. He was the first baby delivered but had one of his brothers cords wrapped around his neck. Doctors feel he suffered an anoxic lesion to his cerebellum which left him with spastic and ataxic CP.

When the other boys were lifting their heads and moving about Seth was not. When he was four he had his surgery to cut ham strings (which were attached to each other) and Achilles’ tendons. He then participated in OT and PT for years.

Seth’s brother Lance was working as a trainer at the YMCA at that time and got Seth into the gym to workout. This is where Seth’s love for powerlifting began. Soon after Seth started competing along with his brother Lance and a big group of friends. ‘I started training Seth in 2007 and have traveled all over the U.S. with him’ says Seth’s trainer Louie Morrison.

Unfortunately as Seth’s love for the sport grew so did his body. He grew to just shy of 350 pounds. Two years ago, his brother dropped him while trying to help load him onto an airplane heading to the Worlds in Reno. After that meet his brother and friends had a heart to heart with Seth’s parents (his caretakers) and told them that we were killing him. -Long story short……he has since lost 147 lbs and has a mission of walking onto the platform via just the aid of his trainers shoulder (Louie Morrison) for balance in Las Vegas in November.

Seth has lifted in the WABDL for the past 5 years. His best bench presses to date (all raw) are;
