Here's his bio in his own words :

Born February 1st 1983, I was a troubled child growing up who would lash out for attention. My parents divorced when I was just 4 years old and both remarried shortly after. I have one older sister and one younger brother on moms side. I attended church for about 10 years and was an alter boy and played the bells as well as Sunday school. Was in judo/jujitsu for about 8 years until my uncle passed from heart problems at 32 and he had just won world jujitsu title in 1998, it was devastating so i stopped going for awhile.

I have had over 20 jobs in my life starting at 14. I have been in multiple car accidents overall, some extremely bad but somehow walked away from all of them with little injuries. 3 were caused by drinking others just really bad luck which i have absolutely no doubt i have. Very very severe car accidents i should not be alive. I was married 4 years, had beautiful daughter Bailey Marie.. (The Apple).. legally separated 15 years ago.. wife had an affair and i got really into drug addiction around 2009.. struggled all my life with alcoholism but it all got worse in time. In and out of treatments both inpatient and outpatient .. in 2014 i decided to take my life and nearly succeeded. I blew a .29 and doused myself in multiple pills where my father found me unconscious. Had been in a psych ward 3 times do to severe depression and PTSD. Attempted suicide multiple times thereafter. 2016 DWI 5 miles away from home.. 2019 DWI in my driveway where i fought both cops to try and get into house.. it was bad. i then decided to get serious with my help so made deal with judge.

Went away for inpatient rehab for 120 days, then had the option to go home or continue treatment.. went to halfway house for 6 months and got certified in Peer Specialist CRPA. Then 2021 supportive living for 2 years while going back to school (college) for health and human studies and chemical dependency. Got a job after one year of schooling as i just needed specific courses.. absolutely loved being a CRPA but after 3.5 years and 2 jobs of it i got burnt out.. blood pressure got really bad and started getting severe migraines. However I took up Bodybuilding and fell in love with it. After a HUGE transfermation in my physique, I entered an Ameteur Competition and placed 4th out of 12 people.

I Dont take it as serious as i used t
