I was born in Sarnia, Ontario, but grew up in North Bay, Ontario. Most of my Family still lives there. I attended high school at West Ferris Secondary School. I play Volleyball, Basketball, and competed in Track and Field. Most of my concentration went to my main sports interest of Volleyball. I really loved playing the game and still miss it today. In addition to sports I was also an academic in school. I excelled in maths and sciences. I graduated high school as an Ontario Scholar, with a final grade average of 89.5%. After high school I went on to University at Wilfred Laurier University in Waterloo, Ontario. I enrolled in their honors business program and played Volleyball for the Golden Hawks, but after a year and a half, found that a poor coach can take the fun out of the game. Without the joy of volleyball, University lost a lot of its appeal. It was at this point that I decided to give wrestling a try.
