New Jersey Air National Guardsman Tech. Sgt. Justin Gielski is a contestant this year on "American Ninja Warrior." He competed in the San Pedro, California, qualifiers and finals filmed in front of the USS Iowa.


In the qualifying round, Gielski placed 14th and was invited back the next night for the San Pedro finals where he placed 5th. He will compete in the Las Vegas National finals which begin airing on NBC this Monday night. Gielski told Kent Reporter journalist Heidi Sanders that, "Going into it I thought it would be a one-time thing, but now I am going to try to come back as many years as they let me."

See him describe what drove him to ANW and how he trains for the competition in the video below.
