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!

About
the NANBF
In the
early 80's, the North American Natural Bodybuilding
Association (NANBA), was founded by Jim Evans in
Minnesota with a goal to promote drug tested body
building shows. Through the 80's and early 90's, under
the leadership of Jim Evans and later Lee Graese, the
association became the leader in the drug free
movement. The organization then changed leadership and
the momentum was lost. Problems developed and the
organization began to struggle. In 1994, the state
chair people, regional chair people, and promoters met
and decided that a new direction, and in essence, a
new beginning was required. Three individuals stepped
forward to head up the reorganization: Scot Dickerson
from Des Moines, Iowa; Dave Cammon from Flint, MI; and
Todd Mills from Omaha, NE. Under their leadership a
new organization was formed and the North American
Natural Bodybuilding Federation was born.
