At age 12, Fletcher began working at a gas station. In 1977, at 18, he joined the U.S. Army, serving in Germany, where he developed an interest in martial arts and achieved a second-degree black belt in Karate by 1979. In 1980, he started weightlifting and bodybuilding, eventually focusing on powerlifting.
