Personal life

Born in Houston, Texas, White lived for a time in Port Angeles, Washington, and in Pagosa Springs, Colorado with his then-wife Rachel, whom he married in 2005 and divorced in 2013. He was a mortician who owned his own funeral home in Colorado, in addition to being an active professional athlete and father. He now resides in the Houston Metro area.

Strength sports

White played football for his junior high and high school in Texas. After graduating, he joined "The Unit", a Strongman group in Cypress, Texas headed by longtime friend and Strongman Travis Ortmayer. After training with "The Unit" for a year, White applied for a job which would place him in Port Angeles, Washington.

White initially trained at "Marunde Muscle" with World's Strongest Man competitor, the late Jesse Marunde. He earned his pro card in 2006, and competed in the 2006 ASC Nationals, finishing in 7th place overall.

White was training with Jacob Miskimens in their own shared facility in Washington when he purchased a funeral home in Pagosa Springs, Colorado. He made the move to Colorado on March, 2009.

For 2008, White was invited to compete in the World's Strongest Man Super Series, which is a qualifying tour for the World's Strongest Man Competition. In January 2009, he competed in the Fit Expo in Pasadena, California, finishing in 4th place overall.

On July 4, 2009 White recorded his biggest win to date, a victory at the Strongman Super Series Bucharest contest, defeating Nick Best, Brian Shaw and Johannes Arsjo. This victory qualified him for the 2009 World's Strongest Man contest in Valletta, Malta. White competed in the qualifying heats but failed to qualify for the finals.

White recently competed in the 2011 World Log Lift Championships in Vilnius, Lithuania, finishing in 9th place with a lift of 170 kg.
