‘After the government takes their piece of my bittersweet American dollar pie, I will invest…’
AGE: 18 TOWN: Houma
FAMILY: Chris (father), Donna (mother), Zack, Josh, (brothers) Kristen (sister), Marvin and Barbra (grandparents).
PROFESSION: I am a graphic designer.
HOBBIES: Wrestling at Blacklist BJJ in Houma, fitness, music and biking.
WHAT IS A TALENT YOU HAVE FEW PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT: A talent that I have that few people know about would be graphic designing, which I discovered totally by accident. I also make killer scrambled eggs.
IF YOU HAD TO SPEND A YEAR ON A DESERTED ISLAND, WHAT ONE THING WOULD YOU TAKE ALONG: One thing I would bring to a deserted island if I had to spend a year on one would be at least a full-on Jack Sparrow costume, so I could live like a pirate for a bit. Savvy?
YOU’RE A MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR LOTTERY WINNER. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO: After the Government takes their piece of my bittersweet American dollar pie, I will invest the rest of what I receive in other companies and hopefully reap the benefits in time.
WHO IS YOUR ROLE MODEL: Honestly, you know, I couldn’t just name one. I am inspired by all who step out of their comfort zones and kick fear where it hurts. A few of my inspirations are wrestlers like The Ultimate Warrior, Shawn Michaels, and Eddie Guerrero, along with all of my coaches at Blacklist Martial Arts & Fitness in Houma.
IF YOU WERE A SUPERHERO, WHO WOULD YOU BE AND WHAT WOULD YOUR SUPER POWER BE: If I were a superhero, I would be Anti-Electronic Man. I would have the ability or super power to get kids eyes off their phone screen machines for 24 hours at a time, so they could go outside, do some old-fashioned Denise Austin style workouts or maybe play a classic game of kickball on occasion.
TV SHOW GUILTY PLEASURE: ‘The Flash.’
WHAT’S ON YOUR NIGHTSTAND: Glee Season 1 and a Phil Collins Soundtrack. Also, a Hulk Hogan action figure, and of course my Bible so I can say my prayers after eating my vitamins like the Hulkster would do.
HOW DO YOUR FRIENDS DESCRIBE YOU: I guess it depends on the
day! My friends describe me as a person that they could receive advice from, one that has respect for all those that have given it to me and even for the ones that don’t. I’d like to think I’m a positive, competitive, creative, somewhat stubborn, individual that truly never loses sight of what he wants in life. Take it or leave it.
DESCRIBE YOUR DREAM ADVENTURE: My dream adventure would be taking a long trip to some place like Brazil, South Africa or India to explore different cultures and traditions.
I WISH I COULD DO
BETTER: Cooking
DESCRIBE YOUR DREAM JOB: My dream job is and has always been to become a WWE Superstar.
AS A CHILD, WHAT DID YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GREW UP?:
Until I discovered wrestling, I was dead set on wanting to become a magician after seeing Criss Angel perform. Even though roads have changed paths with that specific dream of mine, the art of performing, doing something greater than what is seen is still a feature that’s so prevalent in my life.
WHAT WAS YOUR BEST GIFT?
The best gift I ever received would be a box of wrestling shirts after Hurricane Katrina from my cousin Cynthia’s brother-in-law, Michael Hayes. This gift would go on to change the course of my life in every way you could possibly imagine. It’s such a testimony in life when saying that the little things go a long way.
