Mark Kimble
Mark Kimble had always been in shape, but was super skinny. He had gotten a membership to the gym and began to enjoy workouts when results started appearing. He continued to learn more about the gym and diet. Mark has been back in the gym for about 7 years when he decided he wanted to take his physique to the next level and felt a bodybuilding competition could do that. Mark had intended in competing only once, but found the contest very exciting and rewarding. He entered additional contests over the next year and a half and met some fabulous people. They were supportive, fun, and understood the discipline and effort necessary to compete, even at the local level. Although Mark is not involved in the fitness world by occupation, he decided to become involved by being a competitor and a promoter. He is promoting the first NANBF Natural Columbia Classic a first class show for both competitors and their fans. The competition is on July 9, 2011 at the Fort Vancouver High School Auditorium. Although the show will not be a pro qualifier this year, it will be a fabulous show. For those seeking pro status it will be an opportunity to warm up for the pro-qualifiers that come in the weeks immediately following the Columbia Classic. For new competitors, it will be a supportive and exciting place to step on stage for the first time. There are a number of ideas that will make the show an exciting and lively event and Mark looks forward to bringing you the best show possible. Katy Wayman-White and Moji Oluwa, two of the top IFPA pros in the business will appear as guest posers. Mark believes in the drug free lifestyle and uses competition as a way to motivate himself toward being the best Mark ever. He is 44 years old and without a doubt, in the best shape of his life. He may not be able to beat Father Time, but wants to give him a run for his money!
