^ That is what I was thinking, because he wasnt that big. So, my answer is Joe Gold

Not Joe Gold. At some point Gold sold the gym and returned to the sea (theCaptn' might appreciate that trivia).

Initials are K.S.

Believe he owned the gym for two years then sold to Tim Kimber and company. There's an entire gym history online.

The other is from Australia and has competed in a variety of bodybuilding organizations including the IFBB and the PDI. He was to compete for the NABBA Mr. Universe but they canceled the show. He's currently attached to the WBFF as an athlete and to VPX as a personality.

Name them both!
