1-For those who do not know, can you quickly describe your career for us, how did you become a wrestler?
-My career started on June 3, 2014 when I signed under Dan McDevitt and The Maryland Championship Wrestling Training Academy. After graduating high school in 2013 and enrolling into college I set out to join a legitimate wrestling school that would help me achieve my dreams and aspirations.
2-How did your parents react to you wanting to become a wrestler? and when did you know you wanted to be a wrestler?
-I first realized wrestling was it for me at the age of 8, watching TV and seeing The Undertaker and Kurt Angle in the ring was all I needed to spark my passion for our business. It shouldn't come as a surprise that my parents just assumed that it was a phase, but of course after they saw my commitment to it they have and still continue to support my career.
3-Can you talk about your first steps into this buisness, do you remember your first match?
-I wrestled my first match at Maryland Championship Wrestling (MCW). It was against Kai Katana on October 3rd during our legends tour.
4-How do you see your future in wrestling ? What are your goals for 2015?
-I feel as though I have a promising career in front of me as long as I stay the course and continue to learn. I feel that the only thing that should be constant in life is the need to improve. If and when you become stagnant in any aspect of life that is the day you should call it quits. It's imperative to my success that I be aware that some one is trying to out work me as we speak.
5-What is your best memory in Wrestling? (as a fan and/or as a wrestler)
-My greatest memory in wrestling is my first, Kurt Angle is sitting in a wheel chair on WWE SmackDown, The Undertaker suddenly appears, and then tombstone pile drives Kurt Angle in the middle of the ring.
6-For you what are your best matches?
-I never look at any of my matches as good ones because the minute I do that is the minute I feed my ego. If anything I rate all of my matches as decent. I watch my film only to critique myself and find better ways to set up for certain moves to keep my opponent guessing.
7-What are you thoughts on the Indies?
-The Indies are the perfect place for a guy like me to hone and perfect my craft. Look, I'm 19 years old and I've been training since June of 2014. My end goal is to create a legacy in the WWE and in order to do that I would like to be on top for a long time. Let's say the Indies weren't present today, hypothetically speaking let's say I get signed and I have devote some of those years I can spending on top of the company to learn the business. Or, i can work the independent circuit, learn the art of wrestling, and build a little buzz for myself. In order to be successful in this business you must have patience and an exceptional work ethic.
8-Which wrestlers/tag teams would you like to face?
-I would like to get in the ring with Ricochet, The Young Bucks, The Briscoes, ReDragon, Adam Cole, and Pat Brink.
9-Who gave you the most valuble advice?
What was this advice? -The best advice I've received is from Kurt Angle. He told me to wrestle smart and to preserve my body.
10-Wrestlers are very often on the road, so do you have any story for our readers?
-I don't have any road stories for you now, but next time I'll have you covered.
11-Who or what motivate you to become champion/wrestler?
-My motivation is spiritually based, knowing the God has a plan for me allows me to focus on being the best. He has blessed me with the talent and it is my responsibility to use my blessing to help enhance the quality of someone else's life, and I do that best in the ring.
12-How would you define your style of wrestling?
-I wrestled on the amateur level my junior and senior years in high school and I now am a coach in the sport. My style is mostly amateur based because that is where I am most comfortable. I have full confidence in my abilities on the amateur level that it was common sense that I parlay that into a pro wrestling career.
