Tim will make a nice addition to the USPF on the East Coast. Its nice to have him back with the USPF. I remember lifting in the 93 USPF Senior Nationals in Greensboro, NC that Tim King hosted. Tim is planning on 2-3 meets per year. Looking forward to the 1st one as are many lifters in the area. Thanks Tim for coming back to the USPF!

Tim King was the one that stood up at the 1993 IPF Congress and made the pitch for the Inzer bench shirt. It passed. The rest is history.
