In terms of sheer size and strength, Kevin Nee is impressive. What’s really impressive is what he’s accomplished in the world of strongman competition at just 24 years of age. Nee is considered a top-ranked competitor in the World's Strongest Man competition and is the youngest man ever to compete in the event. He has also become the youngest American to ever be ranked top ten in the world, with his 8^th place ranking in 2007 Met-rx World’s Strongest Man contest. He’s widely regarded in both the United States and abroad as “next,” and recently received his degree in Supply Chain Management from Arizona State University.
