Growing up with cerebral palsy, a disability that impacts the right side of my body, I was driven by a chip on my shoulder. When I entered professional wrestling at age 18, my mission was to show people that even a guy with CP can be an athlete.
What I found out along the way, though, was that what I was doing was much more important and bigger than me.
As I began sharing my story with fans in arenas, on social media, and through television -- growing up in an abusive home, around drug and alcohol addiction, searching for an identity and a sense of belonging, all while living with a neurological disability -- began telling me how I inspired them. They told me what a motivator I was, that seeing someone like myself living a personal dream pushed them to chase their very own.

As a professional wrestler with cerebral palsy, I bring a unique story and character that can sell tickets, attract mainstream press and bring sponsors in for your professional wrestling event. On top of that, I was trained by WWE's Johnny Gargano, so I can confidently say that I bring a wealth of credibility, knowledge and experience to any wrestling locker room.
I've team regularly with my hero and the man that inspired me to wrestle, former WWE Superstar and one-legged wrestler Zach Gowen.
I've done yoga with Diamond Dallas Page, Rob Van Dam, and Stevie Richards.
I've stood eye to eye with and was called "an inspiration" by then-WWE Champion CM Punk in a viral video.
