I grew up up Melbourne, Florida and joined the Marine Corp right after high school serving 5 years as an Infantry machine gunner (playing with the big guns was awesome) from 2007-2012. While on a combat tour to Afghanistan I ended up stepping on an IED which resulted in the loss of my right leg below my knee, and various injures to my left. I always enjoyed power lifting in the past, so once I heard of the paralympic power lifting team I made it a goal to not only get on the team, but to make the next Olympic games in Rio 2016. So far I am on the right track and just competed in the world tournament in Dubai this past February. The Raw Unity comp this past weekend was my first ever able body power lifting meet, and its probably the most fun Ive had doing any competition! John Stearns
