About Me

Well, the easiest way to learn about me is to go to my webpage, nathanquarry.net. That has a pretty good synopsis. I posted this in my blog but wanted to get it on the front page too. As is my usual, when I started Myspace it was just to connect to a few fans and show my appreciation, but it kind of went out of control! I just wanted to let everyone know that I read everybody's posts and messages but unfortunately I don't have the time to respond to each one as much as I would like. As a matter of fact I'm behind in a few hundred emails that have been sent to my website! But like I said, I personally read everything everybody sends me and I appreciate the support and kind thoughts. What I appreciate more than anything is the way I was embraced before I even got the chance to fight. Because in my mind, I would rather be remembered as a good man and father than a fighter. So, I personally apologize that I can't get to each one of you, but thank you for your support. Well, for those of you that were around on Nov 19th, you saw what I was doing. Getting punched in my head! And specifically my nose! But it's all good. My nose has been shoved across my face on more than one occasion, I'm sorry to say, so for me it was business as usual. Took some time off, but now I'm getting back into the gym, just having fun. Doing some coaching and assistant coaching down at Quest. This looks to be another great year! And I want to thank everyone who stood by me after my loss and showed my love and support. And to those that didn't... (insert raspberry tongue sound here)! Just kiddin. I really feel honored to have the support of all of you. Makes me feel like I'm doin things right. Even when I do get punched in the head. Thanks, to everyone. And especially all of you that are protecting the country or our streets or our prisons. You've got a thankless job. You all are the REAL Ultimate Fighters! Nathan "Rock" Quarry Fortitudine Vincimus

Just thought I would say what every fighter is thinking. It has been my experience that about 1% of email directed to myself or any other fighter that I know of, is "hate mail".  Why do I put it...
