Description
Gary Goodridge started from humble beginnings in small-town Canada but used his natural strength, athleticism, hard work and charisma to become a cult hero and world renowned combat warrior. A world-champion arm wrestler by his late teens, Goodridge used his freakish strength to become the National Amateur Heavyweight Boxing Champion of Canada after only 10 months of boxing training. Gatekeeper takes readers through Gary 'Big Daddy' Goodridge's career from his formative years as a champion athlete to his life as a loving father struggling to find work.
