Arnold Fitness Classic, February 2000

One of the first events I was ever a part of (and actually being paid for) was the Fitness Expo 2000.  With over 400 exhibitors and 40,000 attendees, this was a massive trade show with auxiliary events including the Arnold Schwarzeneggar Classic, Ms. International Competition, the World Record Bench Press Challenge, and a Martial Arts Festival.  It was a very exciting event to be a part of so early in my career, and it really made me look forward to being in such an interesting industry.
