Ed Goljan, M.D., professor of pathology and top notch arm wrestler

Goljan, professor and chairman of pathology, says that as the smallest kid in his class “I got picked on and so I started exercising.” It worked. By age 11, he was able to pin his dad in arm wrestling. Now 61, he’s still a contender.

Goljan likes to say that his arm wrestling is “just a ‘Y’ chromosome thing.” It’s a sport where size doesn’t mean much, he says. “When I weighed 175 pounds, I defeated a 275-pound super heavy weight.” In high school, college and medical school he arm wrestled (with either arm, it didn’t matter) and won.
