"I first met Stone early in my college career at the University of Florida. I had many swim meets with Stone including SEC championships and NCAA championships. All my teammates knew him as a big teddy bear, myself included, and most important as a friend. I could write how important he was to my swim career for his bodywork as a masseuse but for me it was off the table that he helped me the most. Stone kept my body in peak condition at my swim meets and helped me in becoming SEC champion, NCAA champion, World Champion, and Olympic Champion. Multiple records along the way but blah blah blah. My best memories with Stone were all off the table. He was truly part of the team. If I had a great race or a bad race he was always there with a smile. For me to swim my best I needed to be treated like a human not a superstar. His positive attitude and friendly banter always made the pressure and nerves fade. He was simply a teammate and friend. We talked life, tattoos, family, and everything under the sun. A lot of laughs and great conversations are what I keep closest to me with Stone. He was a huge part of my career and the biggest highlight was him coming to my wedding. This is a relationship I will cherish forever. He is a great masseuse, a great friend, and a great, genuine human. I am forever glad our paths crossed."
