Young graduated from Columbia College (Missouri), where he attended on the only racewalking scholarship given in the United States.[1]
Young is an accomplished sculptor who has placed over 50 monumental outdoor sculptures nationally and abroad. Most of his work has been in bronze, but he also works with stainless steel, marble, and other materials. He owns and operates a full-scale, 6,000-square-foot (560 m2) foundry where he personally creates and produces most of his work.[3] He also has works on display with the Art of the Olympians.[4]
