ABOUT
ME
As former professional wrestler of over 14 years traveling all over the country and Canada, I have spent the majority of my career not only trying to entertain fans but also help other professional wrestlers have a better environment, feel safer, and feel empowered. I have raised thousands of dollars for good causes, taken trainings and gotten certifications in multiple mental health and advocacy fields, created resources and programs to assist others, and publish an array of books and zines on and for mental health. I am determined to leave this world a little brighter than when I arrived.
