Bio:
When I was growing up I was always a fan of “physical” sports, hockey football and of course professional wrestling. At about the age of 7 my father took me to a live wrestling event at the Seattle Center Coliseum (now known as Key Arena) and after that I knew that a professional wrestler was all I wanted to be for the rest of my life. I started playing football in grade school and by the time I reached high school I was standing 6’10” and weighed in at 268 pounds. As the only starting freshman on my high school football team, I still hold the record for most defensive sacks in a season. Also upon entering high school I joined the wrestling team so that I could get the technical background to start working towards my dream of professional wrestling. Right after graduation I started training and eventually joined a small underground wrestling federation in Seattle. I wrestled there for quite some time before making the move to the east coast for a slightly larger and more established federation. After being “underutilized” and basically made to job to their champion for what seemed like forever, I caught wind of a new federation called the XWA and I have been here ever since.
My rookie year here in the XWA was one that could only be summed up as amazing. I had been given a few World Title shots in my first few months here along with stepping in the ring with some of the most renowned wrestlers in the industry, both side by side with and across the ring from them. Once the year wound down to the end I was honored with the most prestigious title of all, the first XWA Combatant Xtraordinaire award given by the staff for the most stand out performance, which I still hold in my heart as my greatest accomplishment so far.
My sophomore year was also one that still stands in the record books for more than one reason. That season I ran a 13 win streak from my first match, which within that streak I won the Pure Title, until I was finally put down and lost the Pure Title to Magnus Von Schwartz. After that I had some ups and some downs, but still finished the season with less losses than most which won me the "Ironman of the Year" award. Right after XGames that year I took the off season and toured with my death metal band "Worm Ridden" on a short West Coast tour which kept me close to the XWA fans in a different setting than they had become accustomed to seeing me in.
Last season I was hoping to have more of the same luck that I had the prior seasons, however after my first match I was taken out by an invading federation that made me their first target and put me on the shelf for five months. As I sat at home with a near career ending concussion and watched these invaders try to muscle their way into the spotlight that was created by the men and women of the XWA I knew that I couldn't stay at home forever and made the long journey to rehabilitate myself to be ring ready again. After a grueling training regimen I was ready to return right before Ring Rage and when I made my way out to the stage in the Dean Smith Center it was if my career had started all over again. After I had helped put the nail in the coffin of the invading company I finished out the season against one of the toughest men the XWA has to offer in "The Russian Beast" Drazen Petrovovic.
As the fourth season is ready to begin, I'm not only excited to see what is yet to come but also proud to be part of the company that is what wrestling is all about.
