Alumnus Honors Parents with World Records

Sarchian (from his website)

Fueled by a desire to honor his parents, NMU alumnus Ron Sarchian (BS '87) has set seven Guinness World Records and plans to pursue more this summer. The former Wildcat football player punched a heavy bag for 50 hours, nine minutes. He also split 42 watermelons with a karate chop in one minute on the "Today" show.  The industrial technology grad worked seven years for Boeing in Seattle before moving to Southern California to be an actor, stuntman and personal trainer to the stars. Now he's become a star in his own right, according to a feature story in Clinton Township's "Daily Tribune." Read it here. Or visit Sarchian's website here.
