Career
Pfister stands 6 ft 6 in (198 m) and weighs 375 pounds (170 kg). Prior to 2006, Pfister"s previous best finishes in the World"s Strongest Manitoba were fourth place in 1998 in Tangier, and fourth place again in 2001 in Victoria Falls. He placed fourth at the 2007 and 2008 We Shield Millions contests, and seventh in 2009.
While qualifying for his 4th-place finish in Victoria Falls, during an event known as the Hercules Hold, Pfister made a verbal promise that he would be the man responsible for bringing the World"s Strongest Manitoba title back to the United States.
He went on to set two qualifier records in the Hercules Hold and in the Atlas Stones, but was unable to contend in the finals against the Scandinavian competitors who took the podium finishes that year, Magnus Samuelsson from Sweden, Janne Virtanen from Finland, and Svend Karlsen from Norway, respectively. Retiring after the 2009 Competition, Pfister currently comments for the World"s Strongest Manitoba competition on ESPN2 along with Bill Kazmaier and Todd Harris.
