Hi, Seth. The only guy I know from Missouri who throws is Thom Van Vleck, he's in Green Top. However, if you had to know just ONE guy, you could do a lot worse than Thom. Thom has been training for years, decades... and is a topnotch competitor in the 40's Masters, now. Thom also helps promote at least a couple of Games every year. Thom is a staunch Christian and is involved in a strongman for Christ show, which was a new concept for me, but hey....If he believes int it, more power to him.

if you drop by the North American Scottish Games Association website...http://www.nasgaweb.com and put a post up in the forum, you will probably connect with Thom. He's also on Facebook.
