Hailing from the same neck of the woods as the beautiful country music sensation Shania Twain, my humble beginnings take me back to Timmins, Ontario in Canada in 1973. Born to Finnish immigrant parents, young Buck harkened out on a life trek that would take him around North America and eventually out to Europe, where at the age of 34, as the self-dubbed "Canadian Rebel", I've made a name for myself as both a rockstar and a successful journeyman pro wrestler.
Living in Espoo, Finland currently, I assist many Finnish bands in the fine art of better English in both their lyrics and pronunciation. Having worked with acts such as Eurovision 2006 winners Lordi, Stratovarius, Thunderstone and Sonata Arctica just to name a few, my niche is fairly well cemented in the music industry in this country.
As a musician and songwriter, I head up the controversial Scandinavian heavy rock band Stoner Kings. Currently I also hold the Italian Heavyweight Wreslting Championship, which I won on June 3, 2006 in Reggio Calabria, Italy. I am a trainer for Fight Club Finland, a domestic pro wrestling promotion that has brought up some fine talent such as female superstar Kisu, who is one of the leading lady wrestlers in Europe today.
I am a graphic artist by trade, yet I've also worked in various vocations ranging from operating as a foreign business rep for FuncFood Ltd - Finland's leading sports nutrition company - to gritty construction work to bodyguard work on the seldom occasion. I am also a licenced gym instructor and some of my clientelle can be found in the music industry. As a powerful personal motivator, I also offer life coaching services, where mind-body-spirit are all part of the whole to help people reach more refined and distinct personal potential and psychology.
I won the most important wrestling Championship on the European Continent, with the oldest heritage amongst its peers - the European Heavyweight Title - on December 2, 2006 in Vantaa, Finland when I beat my predecessor, Bernard Vandamme of Belgium, in a 27 minute classic. PRIDE star Joachim "Hellboy" Hansen served as our special guest enforcer referee and as I nailed Vandamme with a decapitating superkick the crowd counted along with the official's count of 1-2-3, crowning Yours Truly with the greatest victory of his wrestling career. Hence, I have successfully defended the European Title in various EU countries leading up to February 17, 2007 in Thoan Les Voges, France where I dropped the European Title back to my Belgian predecessor.
On December 15, 2007 in Helsinki, Finland I became the new Finnish Wrestling Champion, defeating Valentine in a much-promoted match across tons of domestic media. In the end I stood tall, with both my cornerman for the evening, Alexi Laiho from metal band Children of Bodom, and former European Middleweight Boxing Champion "Idi" Amin Asikainen, holding my arms in the air to a rapturous ovation from the heated crowd that was on hand to witness the biggest show in Finnish pro wrestling to date!
For anyone who might be wondering, the current song playing on my page here was written by Yours Truly for the leading sports supplement company in Finland named FuncFood Ltd. and for their Mass Blast bulking powder. Check out their site www.massblast.fi, as I also serve as their official mascot, if you will. As you might suspect, I am also the vocalist behind this tune and my band Stoner Kings can be accessed at www.myspace.com/stonerkings, so drop on by!
