Rich is 74 and has been competing in eating contests for 23 years (since 1995) according to OJ’s database. Amazing.!

Rich looks great for his age. Does he work out regularly?
anonymous said
April 27, 2018 @ 11:47 am
Rich is 5’6″ and 130 lb according to OJ’s database. I thought he was taller than that. Maybe it’s because he’s a towering legend in the world of competitive eating: http://eatfeats.com/query.php?_table=eaters&id=6

Also interesting is that Rich has been consistently active since 1995, with only 2 gap years) along the way (1996, 1998)

Rich’s most active years appear to have been 2004-2008 and then again in 2016-2017. He didn’t miss a beat and his numbers have stayed consistent. Someone last week on here noted his HDB numbers have stayed consistent in the 30ish range, whereas other eaters fluctuate up and down. Rich really has nailed the consistency over the years. Hats off good sir.
