Jeff Everson was a significant figure in the world of bodybuilding; creating Planet Muscle magazine and marrying 6x Ms. Olympia Cory Everson in 1982. He was a competitive bodybuilder who won the both the Masters Nationals and Mr. USA in 1992, and although he never became a really successful bodybuilder, he did a lot in his active years.
