About Me

I'm a nice guy from Missouri who does a lot of yoga and is trying to live the crazy dream of being a pro wrestler. I love traveling and connecting with people from diverse backgrounds.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the Couchsurfing philosophy of sharing! I have extra space at my house and love to share it with good people. And I am truly grateful for the kindness of others who have let me crash on their couch.

Interests

I am a pretty active guy and I do a lot of yoga! My career as a pro wrestler takes me all over the country and world. Most of my activities are part of training for pro wrestling. But I also enjoy activities just for fun- cycling, hiking, and disc golf are some of my favorites!

Music, Movies, and Books

I got on a Japanese rock kick when I trained there and fell in love with bands like Kemuri and Mongol800.

I'll watch any movie, but I have to most highly recommend Heavy Metal (1981) and Total Recall (1990)!

I love anything sci-fi, like Arthur Clarke, P.K. Dick, and a little-known graphic-novelist who goes by the name "Blexbolex."

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'd say it's pretty amazing to have survived six months of training at the Dragon Gate dojo in Japan!

Teach, Learn, Share

The world of pro wrestling is still at least vaguely secretive and underground. Having been on the inside of that world for the past decade-plus, I know a lot of things the average person doesn't. What have YOU always wanted to know about wrestling???

I can teach guitar and bass, and can jam with you if you already play!

I also have a great positive outlook on life and am willing to share that with anybody who will listen :-)
