It's a really long story. Short version: I was hanging out with some other sailors in Virginia and someone else couldn't turn a wrench and I said, "Let me put some beef behind that." After multiple people proclaimed that it was impossible, I put the beef behind the wrench and turned it. People thought the name was fitting and it stuck. 78 was my football number in high school.

Simple for me, born and raised in Ireland, left when I was 21, arrived in San Diego and a couple of guys I used to hang and surf with gave me the name. When I was making the drop on a nice wave they would yell out Irishman, cause 20 years ago in San Diego not to many Irish guys surfing.
