I still have the mentality that I have to push a truck around to be successful … I’m still that kid from Oxford, Mich. Nothing’s really changed since then, espe

Things are going to get better. It is going to change, if we step up and help our city. And I’m here to help.

My dad wasn't a big guy — he was only 5-foot-10 — but to me, he was a giant. He was my dad. He was my hero.

What’s driven me the last four years is not how close I came to winning a bronze in 2012 — it’s the desire to experience the Olympics with Ben.

My dad was a lovable, happy-go-lucky, hilarious human being — a little kid trapped in a big man’s body. Everyone called him “Ironhead.”

I've only had two jobs in my entire life, and Dennis Green got me both of them.

One voice can be a powerful thing, but many voices can be unstoppable.
