About Me

I am happily married to a wonderful woman named Sarah. We have a daughter together named Emma. She was born on Sept 17th 2007 and is growing sooo fast! My hobbies- I love painting and drawing... so I obtained a degree in Fine Art. I also have a lot of experience in website and graphic design and computer repair (my current career). Basically I'm a big kid at heart- I like video games, stupid VH1 reality shows, and watching the Steelers win (optimistic thinking?).
I don't smoke, drink (regularly), or do drugs. I've seen enough of all of that to last me two lifetimes. A character flaw is that sometimes I want to fix all the broken things I see around me. Just make everyone and everything okay. But then I have to remind myself that sometimes people don't want anything different or better than what they already are... and I have to let them go. Generally I'm a fun loving, down to earth guy. I just hate dealing with other people's drama.
Why all the wrestling stuff? I have been a fan of Professional Wrestling my whole life. As a teenager, I was trained by a local wrestling promoter and in 1998 I had my first match at a WWO event. Since then I have wrestled in over 4 states and worked for countless promotions. As of Feb 2008 I have finally retired from active wrestling after 10 years. It was fun to do and hard to say goodbye to... but it's now part of my past.
