Professional Bodybuilder Cory Mathews Signs Global Book Deal

May 29, 2013 - PRLog -- VIP Ink Publishing, L.L.C. signed Cory Mathews for an autobiography. Cory Mathews began his competitive bodybuilding journey in 2010. Mathews was the overall winner of the Lone Star Classic in 2010 as well as and the overall winner of the  Ronnie Coleman Classic in 2011. Mathews is coached and mentored in Arlington, TX by Brian Dobson. Dobson, who is also signed to VIP Ink Publishing, is a legendary hardcore trainer to bodybuilding icons and sports professionals such as Ronnie Coleman, Eight-time Mr. Olympia, IFBB Pro Johnnie O. Jackson, and IFBB Pro Branch Warren.

Mathews is now an ordained minister but his life was not always a bed of roses. From the ages of 12 to 25, he was living the “Vegas Mob Lifestyle” that Hollywood so often showcases. Mathews finally gave himself up to authorities because he was just tired of running from the law. The law firm that would represent him would be no other than Goodman & Chesnuff. Oscar Goodman represented defendants accused of being some of the leading organized crime figures in Las Vegas, such as Meyer Lansky, Nicky Scarfo, Herbert "Fat Herbie" Blitzstein, Phil Leonetti, and former Stardust Casino boss Frank 'Lefty' Rosenthal. One of his notorious clients was reputed Chicago mobster Anthony "Tony the Ant" Spilotro, who was known to have a short and violent temper. In the semi-factual 1995 movie Casino, the character of Nicky Santoro was based on Spilotro and was portrayed by actor Joe Pesci. Goodman had a cameo appearance in the film as himself while defending "Ace Rothstein", a character closely based on Lefty Rosenthal and played by Robert De Niro.

Cory Mathews gave his life to the Lord while serving out his debt to society. His amazing testimony will detail his life from Vegas mobster to winning center stage overall at the Ronnie Coleman Classic 2011.
