Absolutely... I'll be at the North Americans in Cleveland as usual. Only 3 more months to go. All this time you've been competing, and improving. The judges know you've paid your dues and looked in top shape last year . You're due pro status in Cleveland Dave. Judging from how good you were last year and how it was so close between you & Gus M. , you will have earned it. You're a hard worker... lots of time & work into building one of the best physiques in bodybuilding. Another thing is , most of the guys who you competed against way back in the 80's & 90's have finished their careers. Meanwhile, you've constantly improved & still have it . Props & respect to you.
