Over the years, he has garnered a plethora of unusual accomplishments such as being featured in Ripley's Believe It Or Not for swimming a half-mile with his foot in his mouth, wrestling Victor the Wrestling Bear, being honored as a muzzle-loading, rifle-shooting champion, breaking world records for ear wiggling, and more.
